How different from usually was the atmosphere at school on the day of the last lesson
Answers
Answer:
In the short story 'The Last Lesson' by Alphonse Daudet, the atmosphere at school on the day of the last lesson was quite different from usual. There was a lot of sadness and solemnity due to the order from Berlin that only the German language would be taught in the schools of Alsace and Lorraine.
Answer:
The order from Berlin that only German will be taught in the schools of Alsace and Lorraine henceforth changed the atmosphere at school, as an unusual silence prevailed, compared to the normal hustle and bustle earlier at the start of school everyday. M Hamel had changed into a soft- speaking teacher from his harshness and strictness earlier. M Hamel had also dressed differently, wearing the clothes reserved for inspection days and other important occasions. The whole school seemed so strange and solemn to Franz. But the strangest thing was that the villagers even attended the school to show respect to M Hamel, as they had realised the importance of their language. Everybody looked sad that it was going to be their last lesson in French.
