Lesson5 JUXTAPOSITION 2

Lesson5 JUXTAPOSITION  
Juxtaposition can be defined as placing two variables, side by side and their contrast or similarities are shown through comparison.
By juxtaposing two objects or words next to each other, human brain will automatically associate or transfer meaning.
Definition: A placing or being placed in nearness or contiguity, or side by side; as a juxtaposition of words
Example:
    
Metaphor-   Is a figure of speech in which 2 different things are linked by some similarity.
Comparisons that are obvious are not considering metaphors. Therefore, metaphors occur, when 2
Different ideas are being connected in imaginative ways and agreed to be dissimilar at first.
                        - not using as / like
Example: Life is a box of chocolate,you will never know what you will get!
 (The Movie: “Forest Gum”)
                              
Similes -          Using as / like
Example: Life is like cooking.It all depends on what you add and how you mix it. Sometimes you follow the recipe and at other times, you’re creative.
                        Life is like a maze in which you try to avoid the exit.
( example taken from: Roger von Oech’s A Whack on the Side of the Head )

Analogy
Making the Strange Familiar
Analogies use something that has no apparent connection to the object to explain something about the object. The main use of analogies in daily conversation is to use something familiar to explain something complex.
            Example
                        “Dolby Stereo is like a Sonic Washing Machine for sound.”
What this means is that Dolby acts like a washing machine but instead of washing clothes it washes sound. It cleans the sound this giving it better quality, making it sharper and clearer.
                                    (Example taken from: Roger von Oech’s A Whack on the Side of the Head.)

Categories of Analogies

LOGICAL ANALOGIES
Logical analogies are analogies, which use similarities in the design, structure or function of to connect back to the subject. For example a duck can be compared to a hovercraft because of the fact that both of them can move on the surface of land and water. Another example is the comparison of the whale and a submarine, where both can dive to great depths but still need to surface for air.
(Sourced from: Nicholas Rourkes’ Art Synectics.)
                            
AFFECTIVE ANALOGIES
Affective analogies are the emotional resemblance. The clearest example is the use of an animal to explain a certain characteristic of a person. This type of analogy is used most frequently in conversation to emphasis certain points. For example, he is like a pig (because he is lazy), she is like an ant (because she is hard working), he is like an owl (because he is wise), etc. This type of analogies uses the intrinsic values of the object as a comparison.
