CBSE CLASS 12 ...REVISION ..The Last Lesson...Answer and get it reviewed

Answer in 120-150 words 

i   Though tempted by the bright day, Franz stated that he had “the strength to 

resist, and hurried off to school.” As the story progresses, the reader 

realizes that Franz, M. Hamel and the villagers would perhaps need “the 

strength to resist” much larger forces. 

Discuss how the story provides strategies for resistance and protection of 

one’s identity and community through its events and characters. 

Provide relevant textual details to support your argument.

ii On the day of the last lesson, Franz felt that the “whole school was strange”.

Throughout the story, the reader encounters Franz’ account of how school 

usually was, and what it was like on the last day of class with M. Hamel. 

This contrast comes across through events, and the actions and viewpoints 

of various characters. 

• In what way can the story be seen as a comment on schooling in 

general? 

• Does Franz’ description of school life resonate with your own 

experience? 

• Do you think the story might also provide advice on what good 

education entails? 

Substantiate your argument with relevant instances from the text.
