These words of notice fell on Franz like a thunder clap. He couldnt

believe it would be his last lesson that day. He was badly repenting that
why he didnt learn, never paid attention to his lessons. He hardly knew
howtoreadandwriteFrench.Hewasrepentingthatinsteadofstudying
he would go for other pleasant activities. His book that seemed always
burden to him now to same appeared to him like old friends. Even his
thoughts for his teacher M. Hamel changed thinking as realized that he
wouldneverseehimagainasitwashislastdayintheschool.Heforgot
abouthiscrankynatureandhiscruelruler.Nowhecouldthattheteacher
had wore this dress in honor of his last lesson. He also understood why
older people were presented in class as they were repenting why they
neverworrytogotoschoolandtheyweretheretoshowtheirrespectto
theirteacher,whoservedthemforfortyyears.

despiteofbeingFrenchmen?Teacherdidnotputallblameonhimbuthe
also blamed the parents who never bothered to send their children to
school to study instead they put their children to work on farms and in
mill to earn extra money. Even he blamed himself that he often would
sendhispupilstowaterhisplantsinsteadofstudyatschoolandhewould
declareaholidaywheneverhewantedtogotofishing.
Teacher further said about the French language that it was the most
beautiful,clearestandmostlogicallanguageoftheworld.Peopleshould

understood everything very well, because they were more attentive and

Finally with very heavy heart, M Hamel stood up, he was very sad as he

whichmeansLongLiveFranceanddeclaredtheclasswasdismissed.

A: The teacher M. Hamel had asked students to prepare for a test on
ParticiplesandFranzevendidntevenknowasinglewordofitsohewas
not feeling like to go to school that day. Also Franz was afraid of M
Hamelscruelironrule,whichheusuallykeptunderhisarmandhewas
famousasverystrictteacher.
Q2:WhatunusualchangesdidFranznoticeinschoolthatday?
A:AsFranzenteredinschoolhenoticedtheunusualsilenceasifitwasa
Sunday morning. No noise of lesson chanting, no noise of opening and

specialoccasionslikeprizeceremoniesetc.
Q3:WhatwasthenoticefromBerlinandhowdiditaffectclass?
2/11
25/11/2016
A: The notice, which was served from Berlin, was that no French
language would be taught in schools of Alsace and Lorraine cities only
German would be taught instead. So M. Hamel, the French teacher was
asked to vacate the place for a new German teacher. The notice affected
everyone badly. Everybody was repenting on wasting the time and not
learnttheFrench.
Q4: Describe the impact of notice on Franz, M. Hamel and senior
villagers?
A: The notice affected everybody deeply. Franz thought why he wasted
his time on leisure activities instead of learning his own language. The
bookswhichwouldseemhimasaburdennowthosebooksseemedtobe
old friends to him. H. Hamel was feeling guilty for sending his students
forhispersonaltasks.Villagerswerefeelingguiltythatwhytheydidnot
send their children to study instead of sending them on the farm for
earningmoney.
Q5:WhydidthefeelingsforM.HamelwerechangedinFranzsmind?
A: The impact of notice and fact that the teacher would be going away
forever and he will never be able to see him again in class made Franzs
feeling soften for him. Earlier Franz would feel fear from his teacher
becauseofhiscrankynatureandhisironrulerbutnowallthosefeelings
weretotallyvanishedupforhim.
Q6:Whyoldervillagerswerepresentedintheclassthatday?
A: The older villagers were presented in class as they were feeling sorry
fornotsendingtheirchildrentostudyinschoolinsteadtheysentthemto
the farms and mills to earn extra money. One more reason for their
presence was that they wanted to pay their respect to the teacher who
servedthemforfortyyears.
Q7:HowdidMr.MHameldescribetheFrenchlanguage?

clearest and logical language. He also told that the love with ones own
