в рассказе м.а.шолохова «судьба человека» главным героем является андрей соколов. он является отцом и человеком, которого хорошо в жизни потрепала судьба– это и великая отечественная война и плен в фашистском лагере, и смерть родных. а мальчик ваня -  это приемный сын андрея соколова. образ отца связан с характеристикой человека много повидавшего за свою жизнь. его осанка была сутулой, будто он нес на своих плечах много горя.

глаза его не скрывали тоски, они были блеклыми и потухшими. не зря говорят, что глаза – это зеркало души. именно они могут рассказать о пройденных этим человеком   жизненных испытаниях.

именно этот отец не говорит о богатстве, о драгоценностях. он стремиться радоваться малому, тому, что он считает наиболее ценным в жизни: дому, ладу в семье, здоровью детей и самому главному - уважению друг к другу. большего он не хочет, и поэтому   его жизнь становится гармоничной.
