Afternoon in School - the last lesson
'Afternoon in School - the last lesson' Summary
The story unfolds in a classroom on the last day of school. The student, unnamed, is caught in a moment of introspection as they observe their teacher and classmates. The teacher, a stern and imposing figure, represents authority and order, while the other students embody a sense of youthful exuberance and freedom. The student grapples with a mix of emotions, including a sense of loss, the fear of the unknown future, and a yearning for a time of less responsibility and more innocence. The story ends with the student leaving the classroom, carrying a sense of bittersweet farewell and the uncertainty of what lies ahead.Book Details
