People's writer of Uzbekistan Gafur Ghulam has a special place in Uzbek literature as the owner of a unique personal artistic style. As an example of his story "My child is a thief", it is thought that young people unknowingly enter the street of crime, that this work is dangerous, and that a person has an important place in life through honest work. The article analyzes Gafur Ghulam's ability to create national images on the example of a story. In this way, the role of the images in Uzbek criminalistic works, the role of issues such as describing  national peculiarities and the preservation of the spirit of the times in the development of their character in the art of artistic works will be shown.
