Children's trauma as an element of a literary work for children and youth

Abstract

The research studio is devoted to the analysis of the connection as a compositional element of a literary work for children and youth. The issue of modern children's literature largely focuses on issues related to children's trauma, which underlies the development of the plot of the work and the characteristics of the characters. In view of this, the «child trauma» in the article is seen as an emotional state of the protagonist, who found himself in a difficult psychological situation, where the child's usual state of affairs is disturbed - loss of family members or withdrawal from traditional living space. An important element of the plot and character development of the protagonist is the need to make difficult life choices or violate established prohibitions. It is worth noting that an important factor in raising a child and forming models of his behavior for many centuries was folk art, which demonstrated the necessary rules of human behavior in certain difficult life circumstances. At the same time, one of the leading genres of folk art, which influenced the formation of human character, was a fairy tale that presented certain patterns of behavior in crisis situations, as well as provided advice to combat injuries, including psychological. According to the results of the study it was found that the basis of the popular adventure works of D. Tolkien, K. Lewis, R. Dahl, D. Rowling, R. Riordan, S. Mayer, T. Timayer, N. Scherba and B. The image of a child's injury is missing. This technique is also characteristic of folklore and mythology.
