Question

what did franz think about the pigeons why ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) When Franz wondered whether they would make even the pigeons sing in German, he meant that they had grown up using French as their language. Now, taking it away from them would be unfair and unkind. ... French was their mother tongue and they were comfortable using it as their own.

Answer 2

Franz thinks about how the pigeons will answer if the Germans forced them to sing in German.

Explanation:

• This question is based on Alphonse Daudet's story "The Last Lesson."
• Franz questioned if they could get even the pigeons to sing in German, implying how they had grown speaking French. Taking that away from them now would be unjust and cruel.
• They spoke in a language that was as natural to them as singing to pigeons. People find it hard to adopt a language that is forced upon them.
• Their mother tongue was French, and they felt at ease speaking it as if it were their own. Switching to a new language would be difficult.
