The Last Lesson
Q. Franz’s feelings about M. Hamel and school changed gradually by the end of the text, though he had a great disliking for both the beginning of the story. It is said that first impression is the last impression. Is it true in context of “The Last Lesson”? Definitely not.
Write a small paragraph of about 100 words penning down your views on, ‘A person can be best judged in his first appearance only’.
Ans: A well-known dictum states that ’appearances are deceptive’. In fact, it is true that one cannot be judged in just one meeting. Actually, one or more meetings are not enough to judge a person’s personality. Every person reacts differently on different situations at different times. So it is not a matter of single appearances to form a judgment about a person. It might be a prejudice.
Now-a-days every person appears to be social and gentle. They want to be presentable in the society. No matter what their background is. One’s clothes, gestures, habits, etc. do not de4fine one’s personality in just one appearance. Due time should be taken to form opinion about a person. Different situations reveal different aspects of one’s personality. Sometimes a life remains short to know a person. But sometimes even a few seconds are enough to know one’s real face. Hence, it is not a matter of first or last impression but the issue of time, needed to know one in one’s right colours.
Q. While speaking his mouth choked and wrote, ‘Vive La France’ and finally by gesture he said: “School is dismissed – you may go.”
These lines show that M Hamel was greatly attached to his motherland, profession and mother tongue. In other words, one should be attached to his own land, cultures and customs. But today’s Indians are drowned in the western colours. It shows that there is need to spread awareness about the feeling of patriotism and other related factors. Write a paragraph in about 100 words highlighting the issue.
