Explain the figurative language in the following quotation from paragraph 23. What is the purpose of this comparison? “For that

day Monsieur Hamel had prepared some entirely new examples, on which was written in a fine, round hand: ‘France, Alsace, France, Alsace.’ They were like little flags, waving all about the class, hanging from the rods of our desks.”

Hello there!

Answer:

The words <em>"France, Alsace, France, Alsace"</em> represent the pure patriotic feeling of the Monsieur Hamel for France. Therefore, the young little student Franz relates the papers to these words with flags which may represent their freedom.

Explanation:

The short story <em>"The Last Class: The Story of a Little Alsatian"</em> was written by Alphonse Daudet, showing the meaning of patriotism and freedom. This story was set during the Franco-Prussian war, which tells the story of the German takeover of Alsace in France during WW1.

It narrates the story of an Alsatian boy named Franz, who doesn't understand his teacher's patriotism. During the class, the teacher announces that Berlin has banned French from schools, so he tries to explain the importance of the French language in the world.

Then, Monsieur Hamel asks them an assignment with these words (France, Alsace, France, Alsace) and there is where he starts to show his patriotism.

Write a letter to your friend describing how you saved a child who was in danger<br><br><br><br>​
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Number 12 Aventon Street,

Birmingham.

September 15, 2020.

Dear Liam, how are you doing? I hope you're doing fine.

Man you would never believe that I became superman for 3 minutes yesterday as I rescued a child from an armed attacker.

Now, don't laugh. This is serious. It was a life and death stuff, yeah I know I'm scrawny and skinny but yesterday all those was replaced by cold rage and a sense of duty to save the young lad.

On my way home just past six in the evening, I saw a young teen arguing with an older boy about something, I decided to mind my business, when suddenly the bigger (and older) guy brought out a jack knife!

I acted without thinking, and I'm glad I did because it probably saved the young lad's life. I struggled with the attacker for a while, after he had already slashed the kid on the arm a few times, I overpowered him and with the help of some bystanders, we rendered him immobile. The police was called and they took the rascal away.

Well, enough of my three minutes heroics, hope you're having a swell time over there.

Have a blessed weekend, man.

YOURS FAITHFULLY,

Aaron Connolly.
