Juxtaposition

Juxtaposition means placing things side-by-side. In art this usually is done with the intention of bringing out a specific quality or creating an effect, particularly when two contrasting or opposing elements are used. The viewer's attention is drawn to the similarities or differences between the elements.

Generally people consider Juxtaposition is synonymous to Contradiction, Paradox, Incongruent, etc. But more than that, Juxtaposition has a sense of nearness. Therefore, I conclude that Juxtaposition is contrasts that being placed together in close proximity, or side by side. They are being placed, so we can see the differences and the similarities. Simpler word; Applying Contrast side by side.

Example Of Juxtaposition

• 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;
• the old nurse and young Juliet; and so on.

  Advantages Of Juxtaposition

• ·         Can have it for modification and adjustment factor.
• ·         Make a clear different of 2 objects, and learn from the object.
• ·         Make a correction from evaluation

Analogy

Analogy process of transferring information or meaning from a particular subject (the analogue or source) to another particular subject (the target), and a linguistic expression corresponding to such a process. In a narrower sense, analogy is an inference or an argument from one particular to another particular, as opposed to deduction, induction, and abduction, where at least one of the premises or the conclusion is general.

Analogy is significant in :-

·         Problem solving

·         Decision making

·         Perception

·         Memory

·         Creativity

·         Emotion

·         Explanation

·         Communication

There Are 2 Different Types Of Analogy

·         Cross-Domain Analogy

-(or between-domain, or inter-domain analogy)

·         Intra-Domain Analogy

-       (or within-domain analogy, or case-based reasoning)
