Question

what did hamel teach his students in the last lesson?

Answer 1

Dear student,

M Hamel was dressed in his special suit which comprised his beautiful green coat, frilled shirt and a little black silk cap, all embroidered because it was the last lesson that he would deliver. He never wore this attire except on inspection and prize days. But that day deserved such a special suit because it was going to be his last lesson in French and from the next day onward, Germany would assert its political rights over Alsace and Lorraine.
On the last day, Monsieur Hamel was much more invested in his work, as if he wanted to impart all his knowledge in one day. He explained everything with a lot of patience, to put all his knowledge into their heads at one stroke. Post the grammar lesson, there was a lesson in writing and M. Hamel had brought new copies for them to write in. These copies were written in a beautiful round hand-France,Alsace,France, Alsace. As everyone set to work, M Hamel sat motionless in his chair and gazed first at one thing, then another, as if he wanted to fix how everything was in the school as the last measure before he had to leave. There was an urgency in his work that day and wish to fill them in with as much knowledge as possible.
