Question

Directions: Compare and contrast the lyrics to “You Gotta Be” and “We are the Champions” to determine how the same concept is explored in different ways. You must find AT LEAST 3 ways the songs provide conflicting information on the same concept in the outer columns. Then, in the middle column, state at AT LEAST 2 common concepts or purposes that the songs share.
I really don't understand

Answer 1

For We are the Champions (WATC):
Evidence 1: It’s more based upon self-focus, meaning “We are. the Champions”, “No Time for Losers”
For You Gotta Be (YGB):
Evidence 1: More based on a worldview, everyone working together, “You gotta stay together....love will save the day”
For WATC:
Evidence 2: This is more than anything not only a reflection on your troubled past but now how successful you are, “It’s been no bed of roses...you brought me fame and fortune...”
For YGB:
Evidence 2: From my analysis, it seems like a breakup, where you can see how “Lovers, they may cause you tears...don’t be ashamed to cry” can show that maybe it’s supposed to be something about getting over a breakup. I’m not entirely sure though.
**Try your hand at a third difference, I spent like five minutes looking. Sorry you might have to do a bit of work yourself .

Similarities:
1. They are both about achievement and about working hard at something. “And we’ll keep on fighting till the end” (WATC). “The world keeps on spinning, you can’t stop it if you try to”
2. Struggle is obviously present in both of these songs. “Try and keep your head up to the sky” (YGB). “I’ve paid my dues time after time” (WATC).

Hope this helps :)
