Juxtaposition can be defined as placing two variable, side by side and their contrast or similarity are shown through comparison. Many creative processes rely on juxtaposition. By juxtaposing two objects or words next to each other, human brain will automatically associate or transfer meaning. Usually ‘turning’ something familiar to something less familiar or vice-versa.
Metaphor- Is a figure of speech in which 2 different things are linked by some similarity.
Comparison that are obvious are not consider metaphors. Therefore, metaphors occur, when 2
different ideas are being connected in imaginative ways and agreed to be dissimilar at first.
- not using as / like
Example: Life is a box of chocolate,you will never know what you will get!
(The Movie: “Forest Gum”)Similes - Using as / like
Example: Life is like cooking.It all depends on what you add and how you mix it. Sometimes you follow the recipe and at other times, you’re creative.
Life is like a maze in which you try to avoid the exit.
