Long Answer Type Questions 

Q-1- Why was Franz running towards school that day? What did he notice during the way?

Ans. – That day, Franz was running towards the school because he was very late and was in great dread of a scolding. Actually, his teacher M. Hamel had said that he would question them on participles and Franz didn’t know the first word about them. So, he was in double terror-not knowing about participles and getting late. In the way, he noticed the birds chirping at the edge of the woods, the Prussian soldiers drilling in the open field back of the sawmill and it was all much more tempting than the rule for participles. When he passed the town hall, then he was called by blacksmith, Wachter, who was there with his apprentice.

Q2. What was the scene inside the class when Franz reached to the school?

Ans.-  When Franz reached to the school, he found everything so still as Sundays. Through the window, he saw his classmates, already in their places, and M. Hamel was walking up and down with the terrible iron ruler under his arm. He saw his teacher M. Hamel wearing his beautiful green coat, he saw the village people, sitting quietly on the back benches including old Hauser, the former Mayor, the former Postmaster and several others.

      His books, that had seemed such a nuisance a while ago, which were so heavy to carry, his grammar, and his history of the saints, were felt old friends by him. The idea that his master was going away, that he should never see him again, made him forget all about his ruler and how cranky he was. So, in total, the announcement of the last lesson, made Franz realized the importance of the native language.

Q4. What happened at last? How did M. Hamel last the class? 

Ans – At last the Church-clock struck twelve and then the Angelus. The trumpets of the Prussians, returning from drill, sounded under their windows. M. Hamel stood up. He was looked very pale. He tried to say something but something choked his throat.

     Actually, he was unable to speak due to the pain of farewell and the last day in that town. So, he couldn’t go on speaking any more. Then he turned to the blackboard, took a piece of chalk and wrote as large as he could – “Vive La France!” Then he stopped and leaned his head against the wall, and without a word, made a gesture to them with his hand ‘School is dismissed you may go.”
