The difference
 
Good morning! What is the difference between contrast and concession in meaning? Many thanks

A contrast is an obvious difference between  2 or more things.Example:Oran is a coastal town,whereas,Tlemcen is an inland town.�concession�,however,is a contrast between a planned action and a circumstance that should logically prevent it. The result is contrary to the expected logic.For example: Although he was a very bad student, he passed his exam.No one expected him to pass his exam.Hope you�ll find my explanation satisfactory.
