How did chips endear the students?
Answers
Explanation:
Good-bye, Mr. Chips is an episodic novel about the most beloved teacher at a British preparatory school. Although many of its vignettes appear in chronological order, the novel has no single narrative. It achieves its unity, not through a single story line but through the figure of Chips himself. Each episode provides another detail about the novel’s central character and the crucial role that he played in the lives of his students.
Mr. Chips is a composite of the “ideal teacher,” a representation of the dedication and love found in all who excel at this profession. Nevertheless, James Hilton takes great pains to make Mr. Chips seem ordinary. He is not the greatest scholar on the faculty of Brookfield School. He does not win the admiration of his pupils through skill at games or athletics. He was not even a particularly good teacher or administrator when he was young. Rather, like many other teachers, he improved year by year, eventually coming to symbolize Brookfield School.
Mr. Chips was born in 1848 and visited the Great Exhibition (also known as the Crystal Palace Exhibition) in London when he was three years old. In 1870, he was hired by Brookfield School’s old master, Wetherby, who died the following summer. In later years, he would be the only teacher left who recalled the school’s early days.
Mr. Chips is recognizable everywhere because of his tattered academic gown, a habit of interjecting the words “umph” and “um,” and the jokes that he uses when teaching his lessons. He has a old-fashioned view of education and the value of classics. Chips sees Latin and Greek not as real languages, but as the source of a few phrases that gentlemen use to adorn their speech. He resists new techniques of pedagogy and was all the more successful for being a member of “the old school.”
After more than a quarter century of teaching, Mr. Chips is appointed housemaster in 1896. That same year, he vacations in the Lake District of northwestern England. On a hike there, he meets Katherine Bridges, twenty-five years old to his forty-eight. With her blue eyes, straw-colored hair, freckled cheeks, and relaxed nature, Chips falls in love with Katherine at once, and they are married that same summer. Ideologically, Katherine is as different from Chips as she could be. She is a “new woman” who admires the ideas of such social reformers as Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) and George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), authors whom Chips detests. Under her influence, however, his thinking becomes sharper. He is also exposed to a tenderness and sense of beauty lacking in his life. With Katherine by his side, Chips for the first time becomes truly loved, not merely respected, at Brookfield School. This brief interlude of happiness comes to an end, however, when both Katherine and their baby die in childbirth on April 1, 1898. Chips then falls back into the role of a bachelor so completely that most people forget that he had ever been married.
Mr. Chips retires in 1913 at the age of sixty-five but returns to the school as acting headmaster during World War I. He dies soon after, a dedicated teacher to the end
