merci beaumont ;) si quelqu'un aurait dautre élément a m'apporter.

réponse question 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:

Which one suggests tiredness of a neverending, sterile struggle? quote relevant lines.
