Juxtaposition : placing two variables, side by side and their contrast/similarity are shown through comparison.
Just like what Mr. Radzi said : The act of juxtaposing is to place two objects or word next to each other. When 2 things put side by side, our brain will try to figure out what is the relationship between these two?
What automatically happens is that there is transference of meaning. Usually from something familiar to something less familiar (what is the relationship? Or the Meaning Or the similarities?).
Thus, CONFLICT between LEFT BRAIN and RIGHT BRAIN happens.
| An example of Analogy |
Metaphor : - a figure of speech in which 2 different things are linked by some similarity.
Example : Life is a box of chocolate, you will never know what you will get! - Forrest Gump
Similes : - a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid.
Example : As brave as a lion.
Categories of Analogies
a) Logical Analogies
- use similarities in the design, structure or function of to connect back to the subject.
- 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.
b) Affective Analogies
- Emotional similarities. The clearest example is the use of an animal to explain a certain characteristic of a person.
- Example : She is like an ant. (Ant = hardworking)
