Question

Describe the term ' scrounging for gold" with reference to lost spring? OR Why was Franz Surprised when he entered the class ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

• Answer:The usual hustle and bustle of the morning hours could not be seen on the day of the last lesson. It was all very still and quiet as it used to be on a Sunday morning. The din of opening and closing of desks and the rapping of the teacher’s ruler on the table could not be heard. The students had already taken their places and even the village elders had gathered there.
• Franz realised that M. Hamel was not his usual cranky self and said nothing to him even though he was late for the class. Moreover their teacher was wearing his beautiful green coat, his frilled shirt and the little black silk cap, all embroidered, that he wore only on special days in school.
• The thing that surprised Franz the most when he entered the classroom was to see the village people sitting as quietly as the students on the back benches of the class that were always empty. This included old Hauser, the former mayor, the former postmaster and several others.

or
