Question

why do you think the story ' A piece of Bread'? Is the title justified? Give reason.​

Answer 1

A piece of bread is an excellent story written by Francois Coppee. The title rightfully justifies the story since it is used to highlight how one should not be greedy and should be in content with what they have. The tile also explains the importance of humanity and kindness.

Explanation:

• The story is set during the Franco-Purrisian war in the year of 1887. The main character of this story is a Dutchman who comes from a wealthy family. He becomes a friend with a low-class soldier. The writer explains how this changes the Dutchman's perspective about life.  

• The Dutchman during the war joins the army to serve his country. Once he had a piece of bread in his bag. It fell out and was covered in dirt. A common soldier came forward and picked the piece up. This makes the dutchman open his eyes and see life differently.

• At the end of the story, he picks a piece of bread stuck between his toes as well and puts it at the grave of his soldier friend.
