What was parting message of m hamel
Answers
Mr. M Hamel said farewell to his students and townspeople in a unique manner. He put on his best Sunday clothes and reached the class well in time. He gave his students the sad news of the new order from Berlin according to which he had to leave Alsace the next day. He tried to teach them as much as he could. He told them they had not taken French learning seriously. He did not blame his students alone for poor learning. He also held himself responsible for the same. He was very patriotic as he appealed to his countrymen to hold fast to their mother tongue to be free from the Prussians. According to him the French language was the most beautiful, the clearest and the most logical language in the world. He appealed to his countrymen to guard it and never forget it. He was emotionally attached to the school and all his students. However, he was very brave and strong. He was really sorry for not making sincere efforts to teach French to his countrymen. At the end, he became so emotional that he could not speak. At last he wrote ‘Vive La France’ and gestured the dispersal.
