Dear Student,

(Due to paucity of time, it would not be possible for us to answer all your queries. However, three of your questions have been answered by us. Please try to answer the rest on your own and revert to us for feedback. We will be happy to help you suitably.)

1. For Franz, the temptation to miss his class and spend the day outdoors was much more tempting than going to school 

2. Franz was amazed to see how well he understood the lesson on grammar. Everything seemed so east to him. It seemed as if the teacher wanted to give them all he knew before going away. 

3. M. Hamel had been a devoted French teacher for 40 years. He was a strict disciplinarian and his students were terrified of him and his ‘great ruler’. However, he was a respectable man. On the last day of school, many villagers, who had been taught by him at some point of time, had come to attend his lecture and pay homage to him. He gave great importance to learning French and considered it to be the most beautiful language of the world. However, he was melancholy and depressed that French had been banned from being taught, after France was overtaken by Prussia. Dear Students sorrow was evident in the gloomy way he sat in the class while his students were completing their writing assignment. He became nostalgic looking at the classroom and the adjoining garden. Before leaving the class, he broke down and so, could not speak any parting words.

Franz was shocked when M. Hamel told the students about the order from Berlin and that it was their last French lesson. He forgot about his teacher’s ruler and crankiness. He developed a fondness for M. Hamel at the troubling idea of being separated from him forever. He understood the pain and agony his teacher was undergoing. And, he became more sympathetic towards his teacher.

Dear Students school too, now, carried a different meaning. Dear Students books and lessons seemed old friends whom he couldn’t give up. He realised with pain how much French meant to him and regretted not being attentive in his classes earlier. Suddenly, he felt that the ‘difficult concepts’ had never actually been difficult.
