Pls solve them as 5 marks answers... Asap
Dear student,
1. 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. His 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.
2. Sometimes even the most precious things in our life are taken for granted by us. We never think of what we would feel if they are suddenly taken away from us, what their loss would mean to us. A sudden announcement of being deprived of our language which we thought was ours, a realisation that it is the last time we would use it. It leaves us stunned. This is what the ' The Last Lesson ' highlights. The people of Alsace never gave much importance to their mother tongue. They did not insist that their children should give it whole- hearted attention. They did not encourage regular attendance of their children in the french class. They preferred their children to work and earn rather than learn. An order from Berlin to ban French and make German compulsory made them realise the importance of their mother tongue.They came in full force to attempt Mr. Hamel 's last lesson. The title is therefore justified as the last lesson in French is highly significant and is the central theme of the story. It shows the awakening of people to the importance of their mother tongue when it is going to be taught for the last time.
For getting more assistance on the remaining queries we would request you to kindly ask only one single query in each thread.
