Answer:

Explanation:

a. Here they refers to the Prussians. It was the days of the Franco - Prussian war . France was defeated by Prussia and the orders came from Berlin to teach only German in the schools of Alsace and Lorraine.

b. Them refers to the pigeons. Franz while sitting in the classroom saw the pigeons on the roof cooing and he thought to himself if the Prussians were going to compel the pigeons to sing in German too.

c. Here the writer says that the rule of the Prussians affects everything in France. The equal impact is seen in the creatures around. It is possible to impose things on people but how could they do it on birds. In fact, this line remarks on the hollowness of man's authority. The writer says that man can exert authority only on human beings, but not on nature. This line shows the love of the citizens toward their mother tongue.

The Last Lesson is a prose written by Alphonse Daudet, a french writer and novelist.  The story depicts how after defeating France in the world war, Prussians wanted to rule over the territory as wells as the hearts and minds of the citizens. Here the lesson revolves around the importance of the mother tongue for its citizens and how it gives us identity , freedom and respect.
