This extract is from the story The Last Lesson by Alphonse Daudet. The story is set in backdrop of the war of Prussia with France. The narrator of the story is a student of M. Hamel, Franz. All the students and villagers were shocked when they discovered that they had lost the battle and they would now teach only German in the schools instead of French.
Franz, who did not pay attention in class, was filled with a sense of grief. He thought that he had still not learnt French properly and it was already his last lesson. He felt a strange connection with his language and his teacher. All the villagers came to pay respect of M. Hamel. He sat on his chair, not able to process what had happened. That is why he is said to be mounted on his chair.
