The Stars / The Last Lesson
Elder, and L’Arlesienne. Though some people called Alphonse Daudet a writer of realism or naturalism, his works, which are filled with his wit, humanism, and irony, prove that he had his own unique characteristics.
Introduction The author of the book The Stars described the pure love of an innocent shepherd living in Luberon, France.
The hero “I”, a 20-year-old man who takes care of sheep all by himself, comes secretly to love the daughter of a lord.
One Sunday, the daughter brings some food to the mountain and has to stay the night because the river was flooded by heavy rains.
“I” attends to her with all his heart, but she can’t fall asleep. She goes out and sits around the bonfire with him.
“I” earnestly tells her stories about the stars, and then she falls asleep while leaning on his shoulder.
The Last Lesson is a work based during the time of the Franco- Prussian War, which was caused by a dispute over the territories of Alsace and Lorraine. Franz hurries for school very late that morning, but the school is so still, quiet, and solemn, and the villagers are quietly sitting like him.
When the teacher says this is the last French lesson, Franz feels sorry for not learning his lessons and for doing other things instead, so he listens carefully to the last lesson.
