Question

how did M. Hamel encourage the villagers and students to respect their language in his last lesson

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

He was teaching about participles and also said a lot of encouraging things so that the people would at least try to keep the spirit of the French language alive even though they were forced by the Prussians to study German. M. Jamel also said that knowing one’s language even when being ruled by external people(in this case the Prussians) it would be as though they held the key to the prison. At the end of the lesson he was overwhelmed with emotions, so much that he couldn’t say anything and wrote”Vive la France” ( translation: long live France) in the hope that his last class of French would be of some importance in people’s hearts and maybe one day they could speak French freely.
