Expert's explain 5 questions

Dear student,

a. 'The Last Lesson', as the name suggests, was the last lesson of French which was to be given by Mr. Hamel. Orders came from Berlin that French would not be taught anymore in the schools of Alsace and Lorraine. When the people heard this news, they were very disheartened. Not only the students, but also the villagers wished that they had paid a little more attention to the French lesson taught by Mr. Hamel. In the usual days, there used to be much hustle and bustle in the classroom which could be heard easily from the streets. But, on that particular day everyone was sitting in their place without any kind of fuss. Mr. Hamel was also a bit lost in his thoughts. He explained everything with a lot of patience, to put all his knowledge into their heads at one stroke. Post the grammar lesson, there was a lesson in writing and M. Hamel had brought new copies for them to write in. These copies were written in a beautiful round hand-France,Alsace,France, Alsace. As everyone set to work, M Hamel sat motionless in his chair and gazed first at one thing, then another, as if he wanted to fix how everything was in the school as the last measure before he had to leave.

b. In the poem, the poet has shown a contrast between life and death. The merry children and young trees represent vigour and vitality. Her old and frail  is inactive, weak and withered. Her childhood fear of losing her mother is brought to the fore due to this juxtaposition.
