be taught in schools. The villagers regretted squandering their chances to learn
French while they still had the chance. They showed up for the last lesson in full
force although still feeling guilty. Many elder people came and sat on the last
benches, which were typically empty earlier, to show their love for the language.

2019]
ANS. Everyone was in a state of shock when Berlin issued an order prohibiting the teaching of
French in schools in Alsace and Lorraine. These provinces' inhabitants spoke French as their
first language, therefore this development was unimaginable. They would be instructed in
German rather than French. All the people were suddenly filled with zeal as a result of this
surprising occurrence.
It being his last lesson and him leaving the following day, M. Hamel, the French teacher,
turned from being a grumpy and strict teacher to being a really compassionate guy. He
really wore ceremonial clothing to class on that particular day, which was typically saved
for inspection and prize days. He also taught with more patience and understanding.
Before, Franz had little interest in learning French, but after realising what he had been
missing, he abruptly changed his mind and started paying close attention in class. The
villagers showed up in full force for the final lesson because they regretted not taking
advantage of the opportunity provided to them for studying French earlier when it was
available.

another since it is essential to their freedom and togetherness. Furthermore, he
displayed his ardent affection for the French language by writing the phrase "Vive La
France!" on the blackboard at the end of the lesson.

6. Describe the atmosphere and mood in M. Hamel's last class. [CBSE 2015]
ANS. M. Hamel's last class was a memorable one because of its mood of sadness
and regret. The school started out sombre, far more silent than usual. Everyone
was very quiet and attentive. M. Hamel did not scold Franz as he normally
would for being late. When he made the announcement that it was to be his last
class, it shocked some students. The students continued to pay close attention in
the class which kept the noise level down. Sometimes only the scratching of nibs
was heard. M. Hamel spoke passionately about the French language, which
added to the melancholic atmosphere. The village elders also joined the class
regretful that they too did not learn as much as they should have. At the end of
the class, he was pale and wanted to speak. But his emotions got in the way, so
he wrote 'Vive La France!' on the blackboard and dismissed his class with a
gesture of his hand.

ANS. M. Hamel was talking about the people of the village when
he said 'we' in this sentence. He included himself in the group. He
believed that because the adults in the village did not take the
education of children like Franz seriously before, they had to pay
the price for it now. He mentioned that Franz alone was not
responsible for not knowing the rules of French participles, but
also his parents who wanted him to work in the fields rather than
go to class. He blamed himself as well for sending Franz to water
his flowers or declaring a holiday when it was convenient for him.

8. The order from Berlin aroused a particular zeal in the school. Comment. [CBSE
2015]
ANS. The order from Berlin that the schools of Alsace and Lorraine should solely teach
German sparked a special fervor throughout school on the last day of the French
lesson. On that day, pride and grief coexisted in the air. The class was attended by
both students and older villagers. The atmosphere was quite somber because the
older people crying at the back seats and the sad expressions on the children's faces.
M. Hamel, who was dressed to the nines, appeared to be reflecting. The village elders
and his students both paid close attention to what they were taught in class. They
wanted to study as much as they could. Even Franz himself appeared to adore his
books. The teacher, M. Hamel, advised the class members to hang onto French
because it was the most beautiful language in the world. He asserted that the secret
to their independence lay in their mother tongue. Everyone's faces displayed a sense of
unity as well as a deep love and respect for their mother tongue. M. Hamel wrote
"Vive La France" on the board as the lesson came to a close.
