How did Franz’s feelings about M. Hamel and school change?
Franz was sunned after being told by his teacher Mr.Hamel about the order from Berlin and that he is going to being taught their last lesson. His attitude towards Mr.Hamel was changed; he suddenly started loving his teacher and his teacher’s cranky nature. But now his school became a different meaning for him. His books, begs and school was no more a burden just like a fruited for him which he never wanted to lose. He felt respect and pain for never listening in classes and never and near learning their French language.
