♠ Week 6 - Juxtaposition

Juxtaposition is the placing of compositional elements side-by-side, with the intention of comparing or contrasting them. Base on my understanding, with two idea or character, i can combine them or make into one illustrations. Juxtaposition can be apply in emotion, abstract concepts or character.

Contrast is a relationship between discourse segments.
Lecturer had given us an example on it, which is:

It's raining, but I am not taking an umbrella.

"It's raining" implies that the speaker already know that it's raining and will prepare for it.
"but i'm not taking and umbrella" implies that the speaker will get wet since he or she didn't bring umbrella along.
