Question

What did the town-hall represent to the people of the place since the last two years as Franz wonders in the text The Last Lesson?​

Answer 1

Answer:

This shows the patriotic fervour and love of French people for their mother tongue. Even a small boy like Franz was very upset at the fact that he would be deprived of his own language. He wondered if the pigeons would also be made to sing in German. In fact, it is a remark on the hollowness of man’s authority. Man can exert authority only on human beings, but not on nature.
