You have listened to the story of Vanka. Try writing an e-mail to your grandfather describing your life. Have you ever felt as bad as Vanka did? What did you do to feel happy again?
Answers
Answer:
In a quick yet effective manner, this early quotation from "Vanka" provides several of the essentials of the action that follows: the recipient of Vanka's letter, the fact of Vanka's orphanhood, and the hoped-for sympathy and connection between Vanka and Konstantin Makarich. Yet even though some of the central themes and facts of "Vanka" are evident here, Chekhov still leaves a considerable amount about Vanka himself unsaid and thus open to anticipation. How Vanka sees his grandfather is progressively explored in later paragraphs, as is the extent of Vanka's suffering. His status as an orphan is only one negative aspect of a situation that involves a hard life and daily acts of cruelty in Alyakhin's household.
Explanation:
Dear Granddad,
Hope you are fine, may God shower you blessings. I'm writing this letter, to tell you the difficulties I'm facing here.
I don't have proper food or any other facilities here. Master and his mistress ill treat me. I could not sleep as I'm asked to rock their baby. Senior Apprentices are making fun of me. I'm being ask to steal master's cucumber and send to tavern to buy vodka. Please save me Granddad. I'm ready to come back to our village. Also, I'm ready to take up any job in our village.
