Juxtaposition 2

Juxtaposition 2

-Metaphor- Is a figure of speech in which 2 different things are linked by some similarity.
Comparison that are obvious are not consider 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 )


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.


Some analogy pictures :-



These are some exercise we need to do which is to make poem/sentences with the given words by the lecturers and small mind map of the image that we choose :-

LIFE

Life is like lime that you can taste many flavours while eating it.Once you taste the sweetness from it can make you feel happy while sour taste from it may make you feel hurt that can be same meaning to your life everyday which contain happiness and sadness that can't be destroy after once you go through it.

MAN or WOMAN

Man or woman is like ant that they always need each others.Neither of them can live without helping each others to pass each of the test in this life as it already shown by nature that they always need each others.
