My last French lesson! Why, I hardly knew how to write! I should never learn anymore! I must stop here then! Oh, how sorry I was for not learning my lessons, for seeking birds‘
eggs, or going sliding on the Saar! My books, that had seemed such a nuisance a while ago, so heavy to carry, my grammar, and my history of the saints, were old friends now
that I couldn‘t give up. And M. Hamel, too; the idea that he was going away, that I should never see him again, made me forget about his ruler and how cranky he was.
Question. How did the narrator‘s feelings about M Hamel and books change?

Question. Who is ―I" referred here?

Question. How did the narrator react to the declaration that it was their last French lesson?
Answer: He was shocked to hear that M. Hamel was leaving and that it was his last lesson. He realised that he would not be able to read and speak his own mother tongue and regretted his lack of interest and carelessness.
Short Answer Type Questions:
Question. Why did the villagers come to the school that day? How did they look?
Answer: The villagers knew that German would be taught in the schools of Alsace and Lorraine from the next day onwards. It was their last opportunity to attend French lesson. They wanted to extend their gratitude to the teacher M. Hamel for his forty years of faithful service to the school. Moreover, they wanted to pay tribute to their mother tongue and their country. They were also expressing their patriotism and solidarity with France. All the villagers were looking very sad that day. They all had a feeling of guilt for not learning their mother tongue even after getting opportunity to learn it for the last many years.
Question. What did M. Hamel say about the French language? What did he ask his people to do and why?
Answer: In his last lesson, M Hamel told his students and the villagers that the French language was the most beautiful language in the world—the clearest and the most logical. He asked them to guard it amongst themselves and never forget it, because when a people were enslaved, as long as they held fast to their language, it was as if they had the key to their prison.
Question. What words did M. Hamel write on the blackboard before dismissing the last class? What did they mean?
Answer: Before dismissing the last class, M. Hamel turned to the blackboard, and wrote the phrase, ‗Vive La France!‘ as large as he could. These words meant ‗Long live France‘. M Hamel‘s great love for his country and his deep sense of patriotism are shown here.
Question. Franz thinks, ―Will they make them sing in German, even the pigeons?‖ What could this mean?
Answer: Franz wondered whether the German rulers would make the pigeons on the roof also to sing in German. This question reflects the fear and anxiety of Franz about the imposition of German language in the land of France. He feared German atrocities. The language was as natural to them as cooing is to the pigeons. Robbing them of it and forcing the learning of German on them would be not only difficult but next to impossible. Being deprived of the learning of the mother tongue would mean the snapping of all bonds with the mother land. The severity of linguistic chauvinism of Germans is shown here.
Question. What was so unusual about the school on the last day of French lesson?
Answer: Usually there would be a great bustle of opening and closing of the desk, lesson repeated loudly and the teacher‘s ruler rapping on the table but that day was very calm and quiet like Sunday morning. The back benches which were usually empty were occupied by the village people. M Hamel had put on his beautiful green coat, a frilled shirt, and a little
black embroidered silk cap. This was the special ceremonial attire which he usually wore on days of inspection and prize days. He was pacing up and down with a ruler under his
arm.
Question. What had been put up on the bulletin-board?
Answer: For the last two years the bulletin-board had been giving bad news of lost battles, the draft and the orders of the commanding officer. On that day a notice had been put up stating the order from Berlin to teach only German in the schools of Alsace and Lorraine.
Question. According to M. Hamel what were the reasons for the children not learning French?
Answer: According to M. Hamel, the students never learned French in time. They postponed it every time. The parents were not anxious enough to have their children learn French.
They preferred to put them to work on a farm or at the mills so as to have a little more income. M. Hamel himself found faulty for the poor performance of the children in their mother tongue. He had often sent them to water his plants instead of learning their lessons. Whenever he wanted to go for fishing, he gave them a holiday.
Question. How was the last lesson taught by M. Hamel?
Answer: M. Hamel described French as the most beautiful language in the world - the clearest and the most logical. He was teaching French with much patience on that day and the students and villagers were listening to the lessons with much interest and concentration. He taught grammar, writing and history lessons. Whenever Franz looked up from his writing,
he found the teacher sitting motionless in his chair and gazing from one thing to the other. It seemed to him that the teacher wanted to fix in his mind everything in that little class room before leaving the school.
Question. "What a thunderclap these words were to me!‖ What were the words that shocked and surprised the narrator?
Answer: M. Hamel announced in the class that an order had come from Berlin to teach only German in the schools of Alsace and Lorraine from the next day onwards. It was the last French lesson that he would give them. The new master to teach German would come the following day. This announcement seemed to be a thunderclap to Franz. He was left in surprise and shock to learn that a new master was going to arrive the next day and they would learn German instead of their mother tongue.
Question. What happened when the church-clock struck twelve?
Answer: The moment the church-clock struck twelve, everyone could hear Angelus. At the same moment the trumpets of the Prussian army, returning from drill, were sounded. M. Hamel stood up and he wanted to tell something but his voice was chocked. He gathered his strength and wrote on the black board as large as he could – 'Vive La France‘ and dismissed the school.
