OralhanBokeisaid: “One of the Descriptive features of the art world is a method of description of the problems of the relationships between person and nature”.

Description of nature plays a key role in landscapes in works of writers. It could be noticed from examples that description of nature is deeply rooted in the literature. The first example gives a description of nature in order to show where the event takes place. In the second example description of nature transmits mood of a character. If a character is in a good mood, nature looks beautiful. But if a person is ill or is in a difficult situation, nature appears cold and lifeless. In the third example nature description helps us to learn what is going to happen with a character in the future: joyful moments or hard situations. This idea can be illustrated by an example from “Dubrovski” by A.Pushkin: the character is looking through the window before his trip. He sees dark clouds coming closer and snow falling. “There is going to be a blizzard, there will be a low visibility”, - told the character, hoping for God’s blessing. But nothing helped, Dubrovski was robbed during his trip. Dark clouds looking like black smoke were a bad sign.

OralhanBokei writes the world of nature up. He did it in order to develop events, show the hidden idea, uncover the fate of the character. He improves nature to emphasize the emotional experiences of the character, animate nature and to write aesthetic image of nature.

In each work of Bokei we see that description of nature is shown in characteristics of the war and humanity of characters. Landscape was made to uncoverthe main idea and to complete the description of images. Here the vastness of the horizon of Bokeiis shown.

In the story called “Muztau” support of nature to a lost person is shown. Learning about the treasure, avid Akhtan wants to get it, hiding from everyone, he gets in a cave. The walls of the cave were frozen and covered with ice,Akhtan slipped down and fell unconscious. When he awoke, he realized that he lies in the ice pit. There was a possibility to climb up and get out, but Akhtan’s feet slipped. By the morningthe sun's raysbegan to break into the cave. Akhtan saw a dead man’s body and feared. There was a silver round sign on corpse’s clothes. Akhtan understood, that was his father. The character realized that his father learnt about the treasure and came here to take it. Then Akhtan tries once more to get out of the hole. He sees a little ray of sunshine, which goes from the above.

When Akhan finally managed to get out of the dark hole, he saw the bright blue sky, soft joyful smile appeared on his face, he was glad to be saved. If he hadnot got to such a situation, would he ever feel such heat of the nature? What wonderful weather! Akhtan has never had gained such experience from the nature before. Now he owes it. If there hadnot been that ray of light, Akhtan would have never found a way out of that hole.

OralhanBokei always wanted a person and nature to exist in harmony. Violation of this connection conducts to serious consequences, both for a person and for nature.

The writer gave nature a language, so nature talks to a person:

“- Hey, Red Sand! Why don’t you leave us?

- Where can I find a shelter? Where am I needed?

- Why do take the last drop of water from the people?

- Nowadays not only water runs away from people, even forests, animals and plants do the same.”

Mountains, waters, lands, snow and rain – all are connected together. If one of them is harmed, consequences will touch all of them.Now people forgot about this law. People do a lot of harm to the nature. That is why the author reminds of these relationships to readers. “You are responsible for violation of beauty of the nature”, - says the writer, making people be guilty.

OralhanBokei did not write his stories in order to show exhausted nature’s revenge. He had different aims. Now nature is going to be ruined. Forests and pastures, rivers and lakes, vast stepps and the soil are poor in animals, birds and plants. This conducts to coming nearer global disaster, which threatens people’s life.

The writer worries about people’s further life.
