What is juxtaposition?
JUXTA- means near, nearby or close while POSITION means place/placing.
Therefore, juxtaposition is the act of placing something close together. More accurately side-by-side as an act to show comparison of similarities or differences.
This week's topic is a bit confusing for me as juxtaposition are divided into many types like similes, metaphors, logical analogy & affective anology.
Similes-Using "like" or "as". Example, as blind as a bat.
Metaphors-Does not use "like" or "as" but instead comparing 2 things with some similarities. Example, it is raining cats and dogs.
Logical analogy-Comparison of the body structure and function of something with another. Example, the eagle is compared to the aeroplane-both can fly in the sky.
Affective analogy-Direct to the point mostly uses animal resemblance. Example, He is like a skunk (He stinks)
In class, we were given these words. We have to choose 3 pair of numbers from 00-99. I had chosen 04, 44, 48.
Then, we build sentences from the words of those numbers and draw out based on the sentences we wrote.
1. The killing fly walk up the snowy mountain.
2. The bright light shines over the small mountain.
3. Dirty oil is poured out by the gaint mountain.
Lastly combining both word into 1 images.
Later on we are asked to combine 2 animals and make 3 of them. This is what I came out of.
