A brief description of the story “Bite” for the reader’s diary will introduce you to a wonderful world where animals feel, just like people, and will make you better understand “our little brothers.”

Plot

This is a story about a stray dog who has never had an owner. She expected only pain and resentment from people, and was ready to use her teeth at any moment to protect her life. Sometimes at night she howled from fear and loneliness. But summer came, and a family with children arrived at the dacha, under the porch of which the dog had chosen to live. At first they were afraid of a strange dog, but gradually they began to grow closer. And soon the children were playing with the dog, petting and feeding it, and gave it a name - Kusaka. Now Kusaka became attached to this family with all her heart and could no longer imagine life without these people. But autumn came, and the family began to gather back to the city. The dog ran between them, not understanding what was happening, why everyone was fussing and running, but no one wanted to play with it. Only Lelya asked her parents:

“What will happen to Kusaka?”

But no one answered this question; everyone already understood that the dog would again remain abandoned. At night, alone and sad, the dog again howled terribly from despair and fear.

Conclusion (my opinion)

The author in his story showed that all living things: people, animals, and birds experience the same feelings, everyone wants love and affection and is afraid of loneliness. This work leaves a deep imprint on the soul, because it shows the feelings of an animal as clearly as the feelings of a person.

The story “Bite” by Andreev tells about the hard life of a homeless dog. A summary will help the reader learn the plot and get to know the main characters in less than 5 minutes.

Who is Kusaka

Once a drunk man seemed to want to pet her, but when the dog approached him, he hit her with the toe of his boot. Therefore, the animal completely stopped trusting people. This is how the work “Bite” by Andreev begins sadly. The summary will allow the reader to travel from winter to spring and summer, where the dog was happy.

How the dog became Biter

In winter, the dog took a fancy to an empty dacha and began to live under the house. But spring has come. The owners arrived at the dacha. The dog saw a pretty girl who was enjoying the fresh air, the sun, and nature. Her name was Lelya. The girl began to spin, overwhelmed by love for everything that surrounded her. And then a dog attacked her from behind the bushes. She grabbed the girl by the hem of her dress. She screamed and ran into the house.

At first, the summer residents wanted to drive away or even shoot the animal, but they were kind people. What awaits the reader next in the story “Bite” by Andreev? A brief summary will help answer this question. Then good things awaited the dog.

Gradually people got used to the dog barking at night. Sometimes in the morning they remembered about her and asked where their Kusaka was. That's what they named the dog. The summer residents began to feed the animal, but at first she was afraid when they threw bread at her. Apparently, she thought that they were throwing a stone at her and ran away.

Kusaka's short-lived happiness

One day, schoolgirl Lelya called Kusaka. At first she didn’t go anywhere, she was afraid. The girl carefully began to move towards Kusaka. Lelya began to say kind words to the dog, and the dog trusted her - she lay down on her stomach and closed her eyes. The girl petted the dog. This is the surprise that Andreev’s work “Bite” has in store for the reader. The summary continues the positive narrative.

Lelya stroked the animal and was happy about it herself; she called the children and they also began to caress Kusaka. Everyone was delighted. After all, the dog, from an excess of feelings, began to jump awkwardly and somersault. The children burst into good laughter when they saw this. Everyone asked Kusaka to repeat his funny somersaults.

Gradually the dog got used to not having to worry about food. Kusaka gained weight, became heavier and stopped running into the forest with the children. At night she also guarded the dacha, sometimes bursting into loud barking.

Rainy autumn has arrived. Many summer residents have already left for the city. Lyolya’s family also began to gather there. The girl asked her mother about what to do with Kusaka. What did the mother answer? A brief summary will help you find out. Andreeva Kusaka was not happy for long. The woman said that there was nowhere to keep her in the city and she would have to be left at the dacha. Lelya almost had nothing to do. The summer residents have left.

The dog rushed about for a long time, running in their tracks. She even ran to the station, but didn’t find anyone. Then she climbed under the house in the country and began to howl - persistently, evenly and hopelessly calm.

This is the work he wrote. The story “Bite” awakens the best feelings, teaches compassion for those who need it.

Chapter 1

The plot of the story “Kusaka” is based on the fate of a stray dog that “belonged to no one.” She was born on the street, never knew what “home” and “owners” were. She was afraid of any rustle or sound, she was afraid of people, because she saw only evil from them - street boys threw stones and sticks at her, and adults shouted at her and laughed as they watched her run away. The yard dogs did not let her even close to the warmth of home, and because of this she went further and further from the village. Only once in her life did she hear kind words from a person - it was a drunk man who was walking home and was in such a state that he felt sorry for everyone. He also felt sorry for the dirty, tattered dog, who was looking at him with a wary gaze. He called Kusaka to him, but she did not come up right away, fearing a catch. While she was thinking, the drunk suddenly became bored and sad, and instead of petting the dog that had fallen on its back in front of him, he kicked it in the side. Since then, the dog simply hated people and began to rush at them and bite them.

Winter came. Kusaka found an empty dacha and settled under its veranda. She seemed to be guarding this dacha, she even barked loudly and ran out onto the road if someone passed nearby, which made her very pleased with herself.

Chapter 2

When spring came, people came to the dacha. Kusaka hid in the bushes and watched as they unloaded things. Then a girl came out into the garden, who was so enchanted by the garden and nature that she did not notice how a dog crept up to her - Kusaka grabbed her dress with her teeth and disappeared into the bushes. At night, Kusaka returned to her place under the veranda - now it seemed to her that she was protecting not only the dacha itself, but also the people living in it.

Gradually, the summer residents got used to the dog, going out in the morning, asking about her, even giving her a name - Kusaka, to which she soon got used to. People fed Kusaka, and every day she came closer to them, but she was still ready to run away and hide from any sudden movement. It was the same girl whom the dog met on the day the summer residents arrived who finally “befriended” Kusaka with people. Her name was Lelya, and she very affectionately called Kusaka to her, promising to give her some sugar if she came up. And it happened - Kusaka for the second time since birth approached the person and lay down on her back, closing her eyes, because she really didn’t know what to expect. But Lelya did not offend the dog - she stroked it. And then she called the children, who immediately ran up. Kusaka was wary - before, children were almost her main offenders, but she understood that if now one of these children hit her, she would no longer be able to bite him, since she no longer felt anger towards people.

Chapter 3

So Kusaka understood what it meant to be “someone’s” dog. She was well fed and not abused, and although she was used to eating very little, this was enough for her coat to become clean and shiny. In gratitude, Kusaka learned to “play” - to tumble, jump and spin, however, she did it so clumsily that she caused everyone to laugh, but this laughter did not give rise to resentment in her. Kusaka no longer needed to look for her own food, and very rarely left the territory of the dacha. And at night she still vigilantly guarded “her” owners.

Chapter 4

Autumn came, and summer residents began to gather in the city. Lelya asked her mother what to do with Kusaka now, and she replied that Kusaka would have to be left at the dacha - she could not be kept in the apartment. Lelya cried bitterly, but her mother calmed her down by promising to get a purebred puppy in the city. And Lelya stopped crying.

Kusaka watched as strangers packed things, realizing that something bad was happening. Lelya came out and called Kusaka with her to the highway. It was raining, and Lelya, suddenly feeling bored, turned back. Soon everyone left for the station, and only there Lelya realized that she had not said goodbye to Kusaka.

Chapter 5

But Kusaka could not understand what had happened - she even ran to the station in the rain, found no one there and returned to the dacha. Night was falling. And this night seemed to fill an empty space in the dog’s soul. The dog howled, putting all the anguish and pain into its howl. The story ends with the words: “The dog howled.”

A dog living in an empty country house sees only bad things from people all its life. The owners arrive at the dacha. The dog gets used to them, but in the fall they leave, leaving her alone again.

A dog spends its entire life accumulating anger at the world, where it is offended by both people and other dogs. In winter, she finds an empty dacha, settles under its terrace and selflessly guards it.

In the spring, summer residents come. The first dog meets a girl, high school student Lelya. At the first meeting, the dog scares her, jumps out from behind the bushes and tears off a piece of her dress. Over time, people get used to her and give her the nickname Kusaka. Kind summer residents feed the dog, and Kusaka every day reduces the distance between himself and people by one step, but is still afraid to come closer. Lyolya still approaches Kusaka and strokes her. So for the second time in its life, the dog trusted a person. From this moment on, Kusaka is transformed, now she belongs to the people and rightfully serves them.

In the fall, Lelya and her family leave for the city. I feel sorry for Kusak, but you can’t take your dog into your apartment with you. Before leaving, the girl comes to the garden and finds a dog. Together they go out onto the highway. “It’s boring,” says Lelya, and goes back, and remembers the dog only at the station.

The dog rushes for a long time in the footsteps of the people who have left. Returning to the dacha and realizing that she was left alone again, she howls loudly from loneliness.

Year: 1901 Genre: story

Main characters: Kusaka is a mongrel dog, Lelya is a teenage girl.

1901 Andreev Leonid finishes his work “Bite”. At the center of the story is a little dog that no one wants. They spank her, they can even beat her. She looks for shelter and finds a dacha where she spends the winter. And then a holiday happens in Kusaka’s life: a family with children comes to the dacha. The girl Lelya became attached to the dog, and Kusaka, in turn, realized that how great it is to have an owner, to be needed by someone. But one day in autumn everything ends, the summer residents leave for the city and Kusaka is left alone again. She doesn't understand why people are so cruel.

The main idea. The main idea of the Russian classic “Bite” is that Leonid Andreev, with his text, calls on us to love and take care of animals, to have compassion for them, and not to throw them out into the street, thereby replenishing the army of stray animals. And I can’t help but remember the words of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry: “We are responsible for those we have tamed.”

What does it teach? L. Andreev's story "Bite" teaches people to be responsible for the animals they have tamed. A person must show mercy towards animals, only then can he be called truly humane and reasonable. This idea is revealed in the work through the image of a stray dog who dreams of its owner's affection and care.

Chapter 1.

Kusaka is a stray dog. Nobody needs her. She's afraid of everyone. In her dog's life, she sees only cruelty and evil. Moreover, such hostility not only from people, but also from yard dogs. Children tease her and throw stones and sticks at her, and dogs that have owners can bark at Kusaka. She hears kind words only once in her life, and then they come from the lips of a drunk man. And drunk people have changeable moods. Affection suddenly and unpredictably gives way to anger. The man wanted to pet the dog first, but he kicked it instead of petting it. Since then, Kusaka has hated people.

Winter is coming. The dog is looking for shelter, finds it and settles in an empty dacha. She gets so used to this place that it seems to her that she must guard it. She even barks at those who pass by. This is important and meaningful to her.

Chapter 2.

After winter comes spring. Summer residents come to “her” house. Kusaka watches the newcomers from the bushes. Then she sees the girl Lelya, who did not notice how the dog crept up to her. It was Kusaka. She tore a clump from Lelya's hem. At night, Kusaka realizes that from now on she must protect not only the house, but also the people living in it.

Time passes. Summer residents and the dog get used to each other's existence. They even came up with a name for the dog. Now she is Kusaka. The dog likes everything. They feed her, and in response to their expressions of care, she comes closer and closer to people. Lelya finally closed the distance between them, she offered Kusaka sugar and for the second time in her life the dog believed people and allowed herself to be petted. After that, the girl called other children. Kusaka is happy that someone needs her. She expresses her delight as best she can.

Chapter 3.

Kusaka lives a comfortable life. She eats to her fill. Her fur is shiny. Kusaka is grateful to people, thanks to them, she again became able to play with others and show her good qualities. Her somersaults caused good-natured laughter from those who watched her. But Kusaka is not at all offended. On the contrary, she is happy and good. The most important thing is that she has found owners, someone needs her, that she is no longer alone, which means she is not embittered towards the whole world. At night, Kusaka’s main task is to protect the dacha and its inhabitants.

Chapter 4.

Summer gives way to autumn. The days are getting shorter and, most importantly, colder. The sun is no longer shining as brightly and gently as in summer. The inhabitants of the dacha began to gather for the city. The girl became attached to her pet during the time spent outside the city. Lelya even wanted to take the dog with her, but her mother told her that you couldn’t keep a dog in a city apartment. Lelya cries bitterly. Her mother promises her in return that she will buy her daughter an expensive puppy.

Kusaka watches the gatherings of summer residents. It becomes clear to her that something bad is approaching. But so far she does not understand and does not realize this. It's starting to rain. It becomes cold and uncomfortable. Soon the summer residents left for the station. Only then did Lelya realize that she had not said goodbye to Kusaka. This thought makes her feel bitter and sad.

Chapter 5.

Kusaka does not yet realize what is happening. The dog doesn't feel lonely yet. She even ran to the station and looked for her owners, but there was no one there. Everyone left. Night has come. It was at this time that Kusaka realized that darkness was filling her entire being. She felt scared and sad. Then Kusaka howled very pitifully. The last words in the story: “The dog howled.”
