réponse questions 6 : I think U2 song's is most clearly because his expressions are concrets whereas in John lennon song's there is expressions abstract.

question 7 Wich one suggests tiredness of a neverending, sterile struggle? quote relevant lines.

[SDir07]

In U2 song's, quotes suggests tiredness never ending:

How long, how long must we sing this song ?

And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won?


question 8

Pick out slogans, insults and images of war and religion from the lennon song. what vieew of irish history does it give?

[SDir07]

Lennon song give a pejorative view of irish history because his verses are hard. ireland is plunged in a total despair. but the singer can denounces society of ireland througout this song.

"Well it was Sunday Bloody Sunday
When they shot the people down
The cries of 13 martyrs "

derniere question (enfin)

Write a paragraph comparing the two songs, giving your opinion on them and saying which one you prefer

[SDir07]

songs talk about same event, "sunday bloody sunday" (in 1972, inLondonderry). These song denounce the vision of horor and sigerswant english leave Ireland for the Irish.

john lennon song's:
- He's angry with english. for him, ireland must belong irish
U2 song's:
-He denounces most clearly the society in ireland. he's fed up with viokence and he seaks a reconciliation of two sides.

I think U2 song's it's better adapted to trnsmit a message to people and I prefer this song.
