Describe the significance of the bulletin board in the story ‘The Last Lesson’.

Ans. A bulletin board had been put up at the Town Hall for every news and the announcement. It had been a place of great importance for the last two years due to German occupations. All their bad news had come from there. The details of lost battles, the draft and the orders of the commanding officer, all were put up on the bulletin board. A huge crowd used to gather there to get any kind of new information.

Q. 5. How did Franz’s feelings about M. Hamel and school change?

Ans: M. Hamel on that day spoke in a gentle tone. “My children! This is the last lesson I shall give you …. This is your last French lesson. I want you to be very attentive”. These words were a great thunderclap to Franz. He hardly knew how to write. Though he was sorry for not learning his lesson. He hardly knew how to write French. Though he was sorry for not barring his lesson as a new very little about the language French. Suddenly he developed a strange fascination of his language. His books which seemed a nuisance only a while ago, were his “old friends now.”

After 40 years of faithful service M. Hamel was going away. Franz felt all this must have broken his heart. He would never see him again. This idea was quite painful to Franz. He forgot all about his ruler and how cranky the teacher was.
