Essay on the text
(1) Lukyan was an unusual boy. (2) In the sixth grade, he was diagnosed with progressive myopia - a disease that prohibits active games and sports. (3) It can at once wipe out all the joy in the life of a simple schoolchild. (4) But this, fortunately, did not happen. (5) “Failures,” he once heard from his mother, “are sent to us in order to make us better understand ourselves and the meaning of what is happening.” (b) Lukyan took the task of “understanding the meaning of what is happening” literally. (7) And when, as a sentence, glasses with thick lenses sat tightly on his thin bridge of the nose, he took the encyclopedic dictionary from the shelf of his mother’s books and found in it the article “Myopia.” (8) Ten lines of the definition were based on six words unfamiliar to him. (9) Lukyan made himself more comfortable in the chair and immersed himself in reading. (10) “Curiosity opens new doors,” and here mom was right. (And) The Encyclopedia turned out to be a world full of discoveries. (12) The structure of the human eye and the phenomena of optics absorbed the young researcher entirely. (13) Newton, Huygens, Maxwell became his best friends; the world of physics seemed more interesting to him than any fiction. (14) And the most complex and amazing phenomenon in this world turned out to be light for Lukyan.
(15) “Everything around is filled with it,” he shared his knowledge with his mother, “all the colors that you see are vibrations of light of different frequencies, and our eyes are complex sets of light-sensitive rods and cones... (16) You said I think that a rainbow is a miracle of nature. (17) And a rainbow is simply a dispersion of white light. (18) And the northern lights are not a miracle, but the luminescence of the upper layers of the atmosphere...
(19) “It’s time for your eyes to rest,” mom smiled. (20) - My miracle, I turn off the light!
(21) Lukyan lay down on the pillow and sternly remarked:
- Mom, there are no miracles in the world at all. (22) We simply accept for them what we cannot explain.
(23) The space of a small apartment became for Lukyan a set of illustrations for the knowledge acquired. (24) “Interference,” he noted, watching the rainbow play of soap bubbles in the sink. (25) Looking at the intricate intersections of rays playing on the table near a transparent glass of water, I rejoiced: “Caustic”!
(26) Mom was proud of her son. (27) And she was especially pleased that, while other teenagers were entering an acute period of constant quarrels with their parents, skipping classes and disobedience, Lukyan became more and more flexible. (28) He began to obediently go to bed at the appointed hour, almost stopped watching TV and even began to help her around the house more, more often leaving his textbooks aside.
(29) But the boy’s new behavior was not caused by his desire to please his mother.
(30) For several months now, Lukyan had been noticing strange, frightening effects, the reasons for which he could not find in books: around all light sources - light bulbs, candles, lights on the streets - he saw a strange rainbow glow, unpleasant “flies” began to circle before his eyes more and more often , and in the evenings the pages of encyclopedias seemed to be covered with a gray, cloudy veil. (31) My head ached more and more often, and the pain radiated into my eyes, making it difficult to concentrate.
(32) The worried boy tried to rest more.
(33) Gradually, the veil before my eyes began to converge into a ring, as if someone was narrowing the diameter of the lenses of the already faulty binoculars through which Lukyan looked at the world. (34) The boy went to bed, but tossed and turned for a long time. (Zb) Thoughts that he unsuccessfully tried to drive away did not allow him to sleep: “What’s wrong with me?..”
(Zb) Lukyan remembered that everything unknown is frightening, and in the evenings he covered his head with a blanket and peered into the black space in front of him, as if trying to get to know it better. (37) “But in fact, darkness does not exist; there is no such concept in physics. (38) You, darkness, are simply the absence of light. (39) You're not here! (40) You can’t be afraid of what doesn’t exist!..”
(41) But fear took its toll: Lukyan threw off the blanket, groped for his glasses, put them on and glared at the strip of light under the bedroom door. (42) Its scattered radiance weakly spread across the floor, as if crushed by the weight of the night. (43) “What if one day,” Lukyan thought with horror, “darkness swallows up all my light?..”
(44) This thought, which at first seemed stupid and childish to him, got the boy out of bed.
(45) - Mom, I have to tell you something. (46) It seems to me that I am losing my sight...
(47) The doctor announced the results of the examination carefully, as if apologizing:
(48) - You know, with myopia, glaucoma behaves very insidiously, often without giving itself away. (49) Your boy is simply a miracle that he insisted on the reception. (50) Surgery is needed. (51) First we will do it on one eye, then on the other. (52) It takes a little time...
(53) When the bandage was removed from the left eye, the one that was operated on first, Lukyan carefully opened it. (54) He blinked, getting rid of the slight pain caused by the light of the lamp. (55) Covered his eyes one by one with his palm. (56) The rings of the dark veil, visible with the right eye, were no longer seen by the left. (57) The chamber was filled with pure, even white light, unfettered by darkness.
(58) The boy looked at his mother and met her alarmed gaze, frozen in a silent question: “How are you?”
(59) “This is some kind of miracle, mom,” the boy’s lips trembled, and he leaned into her arms. (60) - A real miracle!
(According to O. Pavlova)
Option 1
Curiosity is the desire to understand the world, to learn new information on your own or with the help of available sources, such as books.
I believe that without curiosity the process of self-education is impossible, because it is this quality that gives rise to the desire to know more.
In the story “Miracle,” the boy Lukyan is truly inquisitive: he himself decided to find out everything about his illness and did not stop there. With the excitement of a researcher, he began to study new pages of the encyclopedia, was happy when in real life he found illustrations of the knowledge he had acquired, and shared them with his mother (sentences 15-18).
Lukyan reminds me of my best friend and classmate Vadim. He knows much more than many of the guys in the class, and his horizons are much broader than mine. And all because in his free time Vadim likes to read various books on history, geography, physics, he is interested in everything! And we are always interested in his company: he knows a lot of amazing facts and stories.
Indeed, curiosity is a very important quality that allows a person to develop, become smarter and not stop there.
Option 2
What kind of person can be called inquisitive? Someone who loves knowledge, because the answer lies in the very word “curiosity.” The one who wants to understand as many patterns of the surrounding world as possible, who is looking for the cause of phenomena and the essence of things, who is hungry for new information.
This is exactly how I see Lukyan in the story “Miracle”. In the sixth grade, when many of his peers would have been more happy to read adventure novels or science fiction, he gave preference to physics. Few of my friends would have thought to study the encyclopedia on their own! He wanted to know more about his illness, but it was curiosity that helped him get carried away by the nature of light, the discoveries of famous researchers (suggestions 12-13).
But the result of the curiosity of Tsar Peter I was the reforms in Russia, which significantly accelerated its development.
I am sure that curiosity is a wonderful quality inherent in true researchers. Curiosity distinguishes people who are smart, enthusiastic, and not boring.
Option 3
Curiosity is a wonderful quality. It allows a person to develop and prevents the mind from becoming lazy. It is curiosity that helps people accumulate knowledge and make discoveries.
Lukyan, the hero of the story "Miracle", is also inquisitive. He himself opened the encyclopedia, wanting to understand the cause of his illness; the laws of nature and physics fascinated him. He did not stop after reading a couple of definitions, but became a real researcher and plunged deeper and deeper into the new world of knowledge for him (suggestions 14-18).
There are many examples in the history of mankind when curiosity turned ordinary people into geniuses. It was she who helped Leonardo da Vinci become a great scientist, engineer, artist, sculptor, musician.
I believe that this is an amazing quality, without which it would be impossible to imagine the development of all mankind.
Option 4
Curiosity is the desire to obtain new information about the world around us, the love of knowledge. Curious people want to know as much as possible about a variety of things and understand many areas of life.
Lukyan from the story "Miracle" is also like that. He wanted to read more about his illness and opened an encyclopedia. However, the boy learned not only the definition of myopia (propositions 6-7, 10-11). Concepts from the world of physics and medicine fascinated him, and the phenomena of light became a real passion. He enjoyed finding illustrations of the knowledge he had acquired in the world around him (sentences 13-16), and strived to learn more and more.
I can also call my mother inquisitive, who is interested in areas of knowledge not related to her profession as a lawyer: she enjoys reading books about the history of Russia and other countries, and knows a lot about the architecture of Europe.
I believe that curiosity is a very useful character trait because it can become a compass in the world of knowledge.
Option 5
Curiosity is the desire to know as much as possible about various things and phenomena. An inquisitive person is a person who constantly asks questions about the essence of what is happening, clarifies details, and independently studies what interests him.
So, Lukyan preferred to study his unpleasant diagnosis in detail. And curiosity gave him a whole world that absorbed him (sentences 11-12, 21-23). The hero was interested in learning more about the laws of physics and natural phenomena, and a simple encyclopedia became his main assistant. Would an inquisitive person open it?
1Few people know that it was this quality that helped the great scientist M.V. Lomonosov predicted the modern significance of the Northern Sea Route two centuries ago.
Curiosity is evidence of interest in life, activity, and desire to develop. This is one of the most useful properties of human character.
The essay contains references to O. Pavlova’s story “Miracle”.

Option 6
Curiosity is a character trait that allows a person to independently accumulate information about the world. The desire to understand the cause of phenomena or the nature of things is what distinguishes an inquisitive person.
If Lukyan from the story “Miracle” had not been inquisitive, he would never have opened the encyclopedia and plunged into the world of physics and its phenomena, he would not have known what “dispersion”, “caustics” is. The hero would not be able to understand the essence of his illness and cope with the fear that he experienced before myopia.
I can also call myself inquisitive: I am interested in subjects that are not included in the school curriculum, for example, astronomy. I have a whole collection of books about constellations and planets, which I re-read with pleasure, each time discovering something new, and in the summer we often take a telescope to the dacha and observe celestial bodies.
Curiosity really opens new doors to the world of knowledge. This is a wonderful and very useful quality of a person.
Didn't find what you were looking for? Use the search
Curiosity is a manifestation of a great interest in knowledge and science. It is believed that this quality helps people a lot throughout their lives. An inquisitive person has a huge amount of knowledge, which undoubtedly helps him in various life situations. Many people think that curiosity is curiosity, but in reality it turns out that these are two completely different concepts.
Curiosity has a huge number of differences from curiosity. And although each of these concepts literally means interest, their goals are different. Curiosity is based on interest in other people's lives, in gossip and in various circumstances that in no way help a person in life.
The desire to “poke your nose” into other people’s affairs cannot bring anything useful, but only serves as some kind of entertainment. Few people like curious people, because their constant interest can only cause irritation. And in turn, curiosity is a quality that develops a person in many areas. Curious people tend to be popular and arouse interest among others. Still would! After all, they are so exciting.
The smallest and most inquisitive
Children are the most inquisitive. They may not yet know what curiosity means, but they will listen with attention if you tell them. This quality is evident in babies from birth. The fidget studies all the objects that come his way. He looks, touches, tastes, everything is interesting to him.
When a child can already speak, his curiosity manifests itself in the form of questions. It is not for nothing that psychologists have identified a period of time called “why”. The question "why?" excites children aged 4 years and older most of all and speaks of such a quality as curiosity. The meaning of a word or answer to a question may not yet be clear to the child, but it must be voiced. You shouldn’t ignore the speech of the little “why”, because he strives for knowledge. Not receiving answers to his questions, over time the baby stops asking them and becoming interested in anything.
It is known that character is formed from childhood. Curiosity as a quality must also be instilled from childhood. Teach your child to read, watch educational programs and videos. Don't scold him for taking things apart or breaking something. Finding out how an object works and works is very important and interesting.
Benefits of Curiosity
We have already found out that curiosity is not a bad thing at all. Now let's try to figure out what advantages this wonderful character trait provides.
First of all, an inquisitive person is a well-read and knowledgeable person. By studying the world around you, you can learn amazing things, develop good logic, intuition, and other very useful qualities. An inquisitive person never gets bored, he simply does not have time for it. Every minute he is studying, researching or plotting something.
We develop and progress
Now that we have figured out what curiosity means and how it is necessary for modern man, we will learn how to become inquisitive. In fact, there is nothing difficult about this, but still, as in any matter, you will need to make some effort. First of all, we need to love the world and realize that everything that surrounds us is very interesting.
Next, you will need a notepad and a pen. There we will write down everything that interests us (at the first stages). For example, you are riding a minibus and see an object or an inscription that interests you, write it down right there in your notebook. When you have free time, find all the information on your records on the Internet.
Try to ask as many questions as possible to friends and colleagues at work. Discover new horizons for yourself, look. It is very important to look at new information with interest, otherwise you are unlikely to be able to remember it. You need to understand that the world around you is so unusual and diverse that you can study it endlessly.
New life
Curiosity will open new horizons for you, you will be full of energy, the most creative ideas will come to your mind, and your mental abilities will increase significantly. Of course, you shouldn’t get hung up and close yourself off from others, explore the world, travel, and the result of your labors will certainly please you. Imperceptibly and gradually you will have a new interesting life, new acquaintances, a new promising job. Curious people never lose; they always know what to do in certain situations.
Giants of thought
They say that if a person is talented, then he is talented in everything. Genius people became such only because they were very inquisitive. They studied science, read and talked a lot with equally talented people.
For example, he knew firsthand what the word curiosity means, because he himself was one. He had his own specific, one might even say, a brilliant view of the world. He read a lot of the works of Thomas Paine and sought to learn as much interesting information as possible. The most interesting thing is that this talented man was deaf, and this even made him happy, because he was never distracted by empty talk.
Leonardo Da Vinci was also very inquisitive. Many said that he could not get enough of science and knowledge. Leonardo's teacher kept complaining that the child was asking too tricky questions that he could not answer. The Italian scientist said that Curiosita (from Italian “curiosity”) is present in everyone from childhood, and at any cost it must be developed. Da Vinci spent his entire adult life studying objects and people, and that is why he was so talented.
The inquisitive Albert Einstein is no exception. He always explored the world, discovered new horizons for himself, studied a variety of sciences and strived to learn as much as possible. His inquisitive mind gave him no rest. Could an incurious person discover an entire science - physics - for the world? Of course, his education, inquisitiveness and genius helped him become a famous theoretical physicist.
