Lesson 4 ~ Juxtaposition

Searched Google for the definition on Juxtaposition and this is what I found

• the act of positioning close together (or side by side); "it is the result of the juxtaposition of contrasting colors"
• a side-by-side position

and even...

• A placing or being placed in nearness or contiguity, or side by side, often done in order to compare/contrast the two, to show similarities or differences; An absence of linking elements in a group of words that are listed together; Two or more contrasting sounds, registers, styles etc. ...

Which aside from the pretentious language, seemed to be clear enough, though admittedly only became clear after a few more re-reads. 

And naturally it would come with several types juxtaposition..

The first being 

Similes-Using "like" or "as". Example, as blind as a bat. This part is pretty basic english essays stuff..

Metaphors-Does not use "like" or "as" but instead comparing 2 things with some similarities. 

Logical analogy-Comparison of the body structure and function of something with another. Example, the bird is compared to the airplane as both can fly in the sky.

Affective analogy-A description of something that is usually animal based. Very straight to the point.

Then we had to do a juxtaposition exercise which involves choosing random pairs of numbers   and creating a something out of the words that matched the pairs of numbers that we have chosen. 

This is no 18 - Flower Wood and no. 25 - Lightning Root

And lastly, no 92 -  Leave Rock

And don't worry about the drawings, they're usually that bad XP
After that we we were asked to draw a combination of two animals. Needless to say, that came out with some... interesting creatures..


So came up with my own combinations, the one on the left being a giraffe + rooster = Gooster?
and rabbit + elephant = Raphant? XD
