Juxtaposition

What is juxtaposition?

Juxtaposition is an act or instance of placing close together or side by side, esp. for comparison or contrast. It is also the state of being close together or side by side. Basically it is a contrast or similarity shown through comparison.

Juxtaposition not only can use in image or photo. It also can be used in verbally or in text too. The two types of verbal and text analogy are metaphor, and similes.

Metaphor is showing comparison in creative ways without using "as" and "like”. Yet, similes is showing comparison in creative ways with usage "as “and "like.

Example of metaphor:
Life is a box of chocolate; you will never know what you will get. (Forest Gum)

Example of similes:
He runs like a cheetah.

There are two types of idea of analogy:
  1. Logical analogy is the product design is similar to other structure in the physically.
  2. Affective analogy is emotional and psychological sense of the similarities between the two cases.
What is oxymoron?

Oxymoron is a figure of speech that combines normally contradictory terms. They appear in a range of contexts, from inadvertent errors such as extremely average, to deliberate puns like same difference, to literary oxymoron’s that have been carefully crafted to reveal a paradox.

Example of oxymoron:
