♠ Week 7 - Juxtaposition 2

Analogy
-use different subject which have no connection between them, to explain something about.

Metaphor
  • which 2 different things are linked by some similarity. Comparison that are obvious are not consider metaphors. Different ideas are being connected in imaginative ways.Unlike similes that using "as" or "like" to make a comparison, metaphors state that something is something else.
  • example : I am a rainbow. (comparing two noun, person and rainbow without using "as" or "like"

Simile
  • Using "as" or "like"
  • example : The water is like the sun. (is an example of simile because water and the sun have little in common, and yet they're being compared to one another.

There are two categories of analogies, which were logical analogies and affective analogies.
Logical Analogies
  • which use similarities in the design, structure or function structure or function of to connect back to the subject.
  • example : Comparison of the whale and submarine. They both can dive to great depths but still need to surface for air.
Affective Analogies
  • emotional resemblance
  • Most frequently used on conversation to emphasis certain points.
  • example : He is like a pig. (because he is lazy)

Hence, let me end up this post with an advertisement from apple:
The analogy of the PC Intel Pentium II chip to a snail.

♠ Week 6 - Example of Juxtaposition

I get to found on that the usage of juxtaposition in our daily life. There's a lot. Just like the example that show by our lecturer, The "Lost" season 1 had applied juxtaposition in the drama itself.

I wanna share with you all, another example of story that had applied juxtaposition which is the famous love story "ROMEO AND JULIET".
  • youth and old age
  • servants and nobles
  • love-sick Romeo and fiery Tybalt
  • the noisy public feast and the private whispers of the lovers
  • Romeo's infatuation and Juliet's wit

Other than that these are the example of juxtaposition that i found on internet:
ANGELS AND DEMONS

♠ 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.

♠ Week 5 - Logical Mind Map and Associated Mind Map

This week, our lecturer Mr.Radzi had give us a talk about logical mind map and associated mind map. During the class, Mr.Radzi use mortal and pestle as and example on how to related it with both of the mind map.

Logical Mind Map
Using a logical mind map, we will only get a stereotype outcome. As we can see, since we think from a stereotype way, definitely we will only get a stereotypical kind of mind map. Everything will be think base on logically, it lack of the sense of creativity in it. If you want to have creative mind map, logical mind map sure cant help you on that sense of creativity. Let's take mortal and pestle as our example, you might get an outcome like mortal and pestle is use for making herb out.

Associated Mind Map
This will definitely suite for those people who want to get creative idea. Associated mind map will definitely give you what you want, it doesn't need a logical type of thinking, all you need to do is elaborated your idea out and diverged it into different outcome. Don't feel hesitate to write out your idea, who know maybe it will work even though it not a stereotype of outcome, but it works. Now we take mortal and pestle as our example again, we use mortal and pestle to replace the ring during the wedding ceremony.

Therefore, if you want to get a creative way of thinking you can use associated mind map, it depends on you yourself, whether you can elaborated your idea well or not.
