It will help them in getting free from the Germans.
They realize the importance of learning their mother tongue and that they have been defeated by the Germans because of their illiteracy.
Franz feels that it is not possible to take away one’s language from a person as it is natural to each being, may it be the “coo” to the pigeons or “French”
to the Frenchmen.
The Last Lesson Explanation
I started for school very late that morning and was in great dread of a scolding, especially because M. Hamel had said that he
would question us on participles, and I did not know the first word about them.
in great dread of: fear of
The narrator of the story is a young school going boy named Franz. That morning, he was scared as he was late for school. Also, as their teacher M.
Hamel had announced the previous day that he would test them on the topic of ‘Participles’ and Franz did not know anything at all, he was more scared of
being scolded.
For a moment I thought of running away and spending the day out of doors. It was so warm, so bright! The birds were chirping at the edge of the woods;
and in the open field back of the sawmill the Prussian soldiers were drilling.
Sawmill: a factory for cutting wood
Drilling: exercising
Franz had another option in his mind – to miss school and enjoy the day out in the warm and bright weather. He describes the scene – there were birds
chirping on the trees and the noise of the Prussian soldiers doing the drill behind the sawmill could also be heard.
It was all much more tempting than the rule for participles, but I had the strength to resist, and hurried off to school.
Tempting: attracting
Resist: to stay away
The scene outside was more attractive than the school but Franz controlled the temptation and chose to attend school.
When I passed the town hall there was a crowd in front of the bulletin-board. For the last two years all our bad news had come from there — the lost
battles, the draft, the orders of the commanding officer — and I thought to myself, without stopping, “What can be the matter now?”
bulletin-board: a notice board for putting up the latest news and communication
As Franz walked past the town hall, he noticed a huge crowd at the notice board. The war with Prussia had begun two and a half years ago and since
then all the bad news like losing the war, occupation of Alsace and Lorraine by the enemy i.e. Prussia, etc had been communicated to the people through
this bulletin board. Franz kept on walking towards the school and thought in his mind that what news could have been put up at the board now.
Then, as I hurried by as fast as I could go, the blacksmith, Wachter, who was there, with his apprentice, reading the bulletin, called after me, “Don’t go so
fast, bub; you’ll get to your school in plenty of time!”
I thought he was making fun of me, and reached M. Hamel’s little garden all out of breath.
As he walked hurriedly towards the school, the blacksmith who was also reading the news and had come along
Entrance
with his trainee Exams
called out 2019(https://www.successcds.net/)
to Franz from behind and said that he needn’t go in such a hurry as there was plenty of
time for him to reach school.
Franz thought that the blacksmith was making fun of him as he was already late for school. When Franz reached
the garden outside the school, he was out of breath as he had walked very fast.
Usually, when school began, there was a great bustle, which could be heard out in the street, the opening and
closing of desks, lessons repeated in unison, very loud, with our hands over our ears to understand better, and
the teacher’s great ruler rapping on the table.
a great bustle: a lot of noise created by many people
in unison: at the same time
Apprentice: trainee
rapping: striking
Franz describes the usual scene at the school in the mornings – a lot of noise created by the moving of desks, children repeating their lessons and
teachers striking the tables with the rulers could be heard.
But now it was all so still! I had counted on the commotion to get to my desk without being seen; but, of course, that day everything had to be as quiet as
Sunday morning.
counted on: depended upon
commotion: noise and confusion
That day was unusual as there was no such sound coming out of the school and it seemed that the school was closed as it used to be on a Sunday
morning. Franz had planned that he would take cover under the commotion and reach the class without being noticed but that did not seem possible.
Through the window I saw my classmates, already in their places, and M. Hamel walking up and down with his terrible iron ruler under his arm.
Franz peeped inside his class and saw his classmates seated and M. Hamel, their teacher walking in the class with the ruler made of iron placed under
his arm. Franz feared a beating.
I had to open the door and go in before everybody. You can imagine how I blushed and how frightened I was.
Blushed: face turned red in colour due to shame
Franz was ashamed of being late and feared a scolding as he had to enter the classroom in front of everyone.
But nothing happened. M. Hamel saw me and said very kindly, “Go to your place quickly, little Franz. We were beginning without you.”
Franz found it strange as M. Hamel did not say anything and on the contrary, politely asked him to get to his seat,as the class was about to begin without
him.
I jumped over the bench and sat down at my desk. Not till then, when I had got a little over my fright, did I see that our teacher had on his beautiful green
coat, his frilled shirt, and the little black silk cap, all embroidered, that he never wore except on inspection and prize days.
Franz hurried to his seat. After some time when he overcame the scare and became comfortable, he noticed that their teacher had worn his best
embroidered that day. The teacher normally wore it onEntrance Exams
occasions 2019(https://www.successcds.net/)
like inspection and prize distribution days. Franz wondered if that day was a normal day,
then what could be the reason for M. Hamel to wear his special dress.
Besides, the whole school seemed so strange and solemn. But the thing that surprised me most was to see, on the back benches that were always
empty, the village people sitting quietly like ourselves; old Hauser, with his three-cornered hat, the former mayor, the former postmaster, and several
others besides.
Solemn: serious.
Franz felt that the atmosphere in the school was unusual and serious. To add to it, the last benches of the class room were occupied by the senior village
men – Hauser, who was wearing his three-cornered hat, the retired mayor, postmaster, etc.
Everybody looked sad; and Hauser had brought an old primer, thumbed at the edges, and he held it open on his
knees with his great spectacles lying across the pages.
Primer: basic reader of any language
Thumbed: torn and damaged
They all looked sad. Hauser had brought his reader which was old and torn. He had opened it, kept it on his knees and had placed his spectacles on it.
While I was wondering about it all, M. Hamel mounted his chair, and, in the same grave and gentle tone which he had used to me, said, “My children, this
is the last lesson I shall give you. The order has come from Berlin to teach only German in the schools of Alsace and Lorraine. The new master comes
tomorrow. This is your last French lesson. I want you to be very attentive.”
Grave: serious
Franz was confused and could not figure out what was happening that day. Just then M. Hamel told them that it was their last lesson in French as the
Prussians in Berlin had ordered that French language would no longer be taught in the schools of Alsace and Lorraine and that German language be
taught instead. The German teacher would arrive the next day and as this was the last lesson in French, he wanted them to pay attention.
What a thunderclap these words were to me! Oh, the wretches; that was what they had put up at the town-hall!
Thunderclap: used in comparison to refer to something startling or unexpected
Wretches: here, it refers to an unfortunate happening
Franz was shocked to know that he could not learn French any longer and now he knew the latest news that had been put up at the bulletin board of the
town hall.
My last French lesson! Why, I hardly knew how to write! I should never learn any more! I must stop there, then! Oh, how
sorry I was for not learning my lessons, for seeking birds’ eggs, or going sliding on the Saar!
Saar: a river which passes through France
Franz regretted for not being serious towards studies and for wasting his time in hunting bird’s eggs and playing in the Saar
river.
My books, that had seemed such a nuisance a while ago, so heavy to carry, my grammar, and my history of the saints, were
old friends now that I couldn’t give up.
Nuisance: problem, burden
couldn’t give up: cannot leave
Till now Franz considered his books to be an unwanted burden but suddenly, he starts considering
them to be his best friends whom he could never leave. The writer wants to show the change in
Franz’s attitude towards study after hearing the news that he could not learn French any longer.
And M. Hamel, too; the idea that he was going away, that I should never see him again, made me
forget all about his ruler and how cranky he was.
Cranky: strange, short – tempered
The news that their teacher M Hamel was leaving also had a similar impact on him. Franz did not want him to go away. He no longer thought the teacher
to be short – tempered and strict.
Poor man! It was in honour of this last lesson that he had put on his fine Sunday clothes, and now I understood why the old men of the village were sitting
there in the back of the room.
Sunday clothes: the best dress that a person has.
Now Franz knew that M Hamel was wearing his best dress in honour of this last lesson. He also realized that the village men had come to pay respect
and thank M Hamel for his service of forty years in that school.
It was because they were sorry, too, that they had not gone to school more. It was their way of thanking our master for his forty years of faithful service
and of showing their respect for the country that was theirs no more.
The village men had come to the class as they were also repenting for not have studied well in their childhood. They had come to thank their teacher for
his forty years of service as a teacher of French. Also, they wanted to show respect to their country and were sad as their mother tongue – French would
no longer be taught to them.
While I was thinking of all this, I heard my name called.
The teacher calls out to Franz as it his turn to recite the topic of participles.
It was my turn to recite. What would I not have given to be able to say that dreadful rule for the participle all through, very loud and
clear, and without one mistake?
Dreadful: frightening
As the news had impacted Franz, he was eager to study and so, he was desperate to show his eagerness. He wanted to be able to
recite the topic in one go and without any mistake and please his teacher. His desperation is reflected in his willingness to give away
all that he had in return for reciting the lesson well.
But I got mixed upon the first words and stood there, holding on to my desk, my heart beating, and not daring to look up.
mixed up: confused
As Franz did not know the lesson, he got confused and stood quietly. His heart was beating fast as he was ashamed of himself and did not have the
courage to face his teacher.
I heard M. Hamel say to me, “I won’t scold you, little Franz; you must feel bad enough. See how it is! Every day we have said to ourselves, ‘Bah! I’ve
plenty of time. I’ll learn it tomorrow.’ And now you see where we’ve come out.

where we’ve come out: result
M. Hamel said to Franz that he would not scold him as now he had realized his mistake. Everyday Franz told himself that he would study the next day
and now the opportunity to study had ended and he knew nothing.
Ah, that’s the great trouble with Alsace; she puts off learning till tomorrow. Now those fellows out there will have the right to say to you, ‘How is it; you
pretend to be Frenchmen, and yet you can neither speak nor write your own language?’ But you are not the worst, poor little Franz. We’ve all a great deal
to reproach ourselves with.”
Pretend: show
to reproach: blame
M Hamel says that all the people of Alsace were to be blamed as no one was serious towards learning. He tells the class that the enemies (Prussians)
would laugh at them and say that they only show to be Frenchmen as they
can neither speak nor write their own language. He says that Franz should not feel guilty as everyone is at fault.
“Your parents were not anxious enough to have you learn. They preferred to put you to work on a farm or at the mills, so as to
have a little more money. And I? I’ve been to blame also. Have I not often sent you to water my flowers instead of learning your
lessons? And when I wanted to go fishing, did I not just give you a holiday?”
M. Hamel says that Franz’s parents were not interested in getting him
educated. They wanted him to work at a farm or a mill and earn some
money. He says that as a teacher, he was also not interested in
teaching them. He would send them to his home to water the plants.
Sometimes, he would declare a holiday and go for fishing.
Then, from one thing to another, M. Hamel went on to talk of the

French language, saying that it was the most beautiful language in
the world — the clearest, the most logical; that we must guard it
among us and never forget it, because when a people are enslaved,
as long as they hold fast to their language it is as if they had the
key to their prison.
M. Hamel praises their mother tongue – French language as being the most beautiful, clearest and most logical language in the world. He tells the class
to guard their language as it is the only way to free oneself from the prison of slavery. If a person knows his mother tongue well, no one can enslave him.
Knowing the mother tongue well as a language is a tool to fight domination.
Then he opened a grammar and read us our lesson. I was amazed to see how well I understood it. All he said seemed so easy, so easy! I think, too, that I
had never listened so carefully, and that he had never explained everything with so much patience.
It seemed almost as if the poor man wanted to give us all he knew before going away, and to put it all into our heads at one stroke.
at one stroke: at once, in one go.
The teacher took a lesson in grammar. That day Franz was surprised that he understood the lesson with ease. He felt that he had been attentive, and that
M. Hamel also explained the lesson with a lot of patience. Franz felt that the teacher wanted to give them all the knowledge he had before leaving.
After the grammar, we had a lesson in writing. That day M. Hamel had new copies for us, written in a beautiful round hand — France, Alsace, France,
Alsace.
After Grammar, they had a lesson in writing. M. Hamel gave the class new notebooks with “France, Alsace, France, Alsace” beautifully written on them.
They looked like little flags floating everywhere in the school-room, hung from the rod at the top of our desks. You ought to have seen how everyone set
to work, and how quiet it was! The only sound was theEntrance Exams
scratching 2019(https://www.successcds.net/)
of the pens over the paper.
Franz felt that here was an air of patriotism in the class. The notebooks were like flags of France that were floating all around. The entire class was busy
writing and the only sound that could be heard was that of the pen writing on the paper.
Once some beetles flew in; but nobody paid any attention to them, not even the littlest ones, who worked right on tracing their fish-
hooks, as if that was French, too.
beetles: a large sized insect
not even the littlest ones: refers to the pigeons
who worked right on tracing their fish-hooks: scratching with their claws.
Once some mosquitoes flew into the class, but no one panicked as everyone was busy writing. The writer considers the pigeons sitting on the roof of the
class to be students as well and says that even the pigeons were busy scratching the roof with their claws and it seemed that they were also busy writing
the task of French language.
On the roof the pigeons cooed very low, and I thought to myself, “Will they make them sing in German , even the pigeons?”
Cooed: the sound made by the pigeons
The ‘coo’ sound of the pigeons could be heard in the class and Franz wondered that would the Prussians force the pigeons also to change their language
and coo in German. The writer wants to say that language comes naturally to a being and it cannot be forced upon anyone – be it the pigeons or the
French men.
Whenever I looked up from my writing I saw M. Hamel sitting motionless in his chair and gazing first at one thing, then at another, as if he wanted to fix in
his mind just how everything looked in that little school-room.
Gazing: looking intently
fix in his mind: store or keep forever
In between writing, Franz looked at M. Hamel who sat still and stared at the different things in the classroom in succession as if he wanted to memorize
the appearance of everything before leaving.
Fancy! For forty years he had been there in the same place, with his garden outside the window and his class in front of him, just like that.
Only the desks and benches had been worn smooth; the walnut-trees in the garden were taller, and the hopvine that he had planted himself twined
about the windows to the roof.
worn smooth: had worn out and became smooth due to overuse
twined: twisted
M. Hamel had been teaching at that same place for the last forty years. The only changes were that the desks in the classroom had worn out due to use
over the years, the walnut trees in the garden outside had grown taller, the hopvine on the outer wall of the school building had climbed up to the roof.
How it must have broken his heart to leave it all, poor man; to hear his sister moving about in the room above, packing their trunks! For they must
leave the country next day.
Franz feels that the teacher must be heartbroken to be sent away from a place where he had spent forty years of his life. The noises of his sister packing
and moving their luggage could be heard from the room upstairs as they had to leave the next day.
But he had the courage to hear every lesson to the very last. After the writing, we had a lesson in history, and then the babies chanted their ba, be bi, bo,
bu. Entrance Exams 2019(https://www.successcds.net/)
M. Hamel remained composed and heard the lesson from the entire class. After the writing task, there was a lesson of history followed by phonetics
where they recited the sounds of alphabets. Franz referred to the class as "babies" because although they were grown up, they were reciting the lesson
of phonetics which is usually done by younger children. So, he calls himself and his class to be ‘babies’.
Down there at the back of the room old Hauser had put on his spectacles and, holding his primer in both hands, spelled the letters with them.
You could see that he, too, was crying; his voice trembled with emotion, and it was so funny to hear him that we all wanted to laugh and cry. Ah, how
well I remember it, that last lesson!
Hauser had put on his spectacles and holding the primer in both his hands, recited the letters with the class. He was crying, his voice trembled as he
spoke. Franz had mixed feelings – he found it funny to see how an old man like Hauser was crying and trembling and on the other hand, he also felt
emotional like Hauser did. Franz could never forget this last lesson.
All at once the church-clock struck twelve. Then the Angelus.
Angelus: prayer song in the church, the start is marked by the ringing of the bell.
Just then the clock at the church struck twelve and the prayer song begun.
At the same moment the trumpets of the Prussians, returning from drill,
sounded under our windows. M. Hamel stood up, very pale, in his chair. I never saw him look so tall.
Trumpets: a musical instrument.
Pale: used to describe a person's face or skin if it has less colour than usual
At the same moment the sound of the trumpets played by the Prussian soldiers who were returning from the drill was heard. M. Hamel’s face became dull
and colourless as the time had come for the class to get over. He stood straight and motionless and Franz says that he had never appeared to be so tall.
“My friends,” said he, “I—I—” But something choked him. He could not go on. Then he turned to the blackboard, took a piece of chalk, and, bearing
on with all his might, he wrote as large as he could — “Vive La France!”
Choked: became unable to speak due to strong emotions
M. Hamel began to speak but could not continue as he was overpowered by his emotions. He took a piece of chalk and wrote the words “Vive La France”
meaning ‘Long Live France’ on the blackboard as large as he could.
Then he stopped and leaned his head against the wall, and, without a word, he made a gesture to us with his hand — “School is dismissed — you may
go.”
Gesture: a signal
Then he stopped writing, bent towards the wall and without speaking anything signalled the class to leave as the class was over.

Question and Answers Entrance Exams 2019(https://www.successcds.net/)

Q1. The people in this story suddenly realise how precious their language is to them. What shows you this? Why does this happen?
A. When the village men realize that their mother tongue, French will no longer be taught to them, they realize its importance. Suddenly, they develop an
inclination towards learning.
They attend the last lesson of French, bring their old, torn primers to learn the language which shows their eagerness. They regret putting off learning
French to the next day. Now, finally, the last lesson has arrived, and they cannot read their own language. They are ashamed of themselves and realize
that the Germans have overpowered them due to their lack of knowing their own language.
Q2. Franz thinks, “Will they make them sing in German, even the pigeons?” What could this mean?
A. Franz is disheartened when he comes to know that he can no longer learn his language – French. Their district has been captured by Germany and
now German will be taught to them. Franz feels that mother tongue comes to a person naturally, he is born with it and no one can snatch it away.
Just like the pigeons make the ‘coo’ sound, irrespective of the country from which they are, similarly, human beings also communicate in their mother
tongue. As the Germans are trying to impose their language on the French, so similarly, Franz feels that they will teach the pigeons also to ‘coo’ in
German language. He has given this example to highlight his point that language is a natural mode of communication and it cannot be imposed.
