Lesson 4: Juxtaposition

.
What is juxtaposition

Juxtaposition means turn something familiar to something less familiar or vice versa.

It is the idea of putting two contrasting ideas side by side. For example, Michael Moore uses juxtaposition in Fahrenheit 911, when he plays the song "What a Wonder full World" while playing scenes of war and violence.

Analogy

Analogy divided into two: metaphor and similes.

In metaphor, two different things are linked by similar things. On the other hand, similes use words such as "like".

There are lots of stuff surrounding us which use the concept of analogy. Lets have a look on some real life examples:

Kamu sudah potong? Saya belum. =X

Sometimes the juxtaposition can be done by mistake where there are two different pictures or frames together or side by side but they still convey a message intentionally or unintentionally. Most often though the placement of frames articles and pictures has a certain order or preference to associate or categorize the item. Lets the pictures do the talking:

Hey, we already have the culprit here!
