For me, I think that the lecture in this week given by our lecturer Mr. Radzi Bedu is interesting. Not everyone understood the true meaning of “Juxtaposition”. Before this lecture class, I’m not really understand the term of juxtaposition. I got a clearer picture of it finally after the lecture class.
Besides that, we also learned about the true meaning of t
he terms “simile” and “metaphor”. They are quite easy to understand because we have actually learned them during our English grammar lesson before.
What is Juxtaposition?
Juxtaposition can be categorized into two categories of analogy which is the “logical anology” and the “affective analogy”. The “logical analogy” can be described as an analogy which uses similarity in design, structure as well as function in order to connect back with the subject while “affective anologies” can be defined as an emotional resemblance analogy.
or
Juxtaposition is the placement of two things (usually abstract concepts, though it can refer to physical objects) near each other.

What is Analogy?
- A comparison between two things, typically on the basis of their structure and for the purpose of explanation or clarification.
- A correspondence or partial similarity.
What is Metaphor?
- A metaphor is a figure of speech that uses one thing to mean another and makes a comparison between the two. Metaphors can be very simple and they can function as most any part of speech.
Example of metaphor:

What is Simile?
- A simile is also called an open comparison. It is a form of metaphor that compares two different things to create a new meaning. But a simile always uses “like” or “as” within the phrase and is more explicit than a metaphor.

In-Class Exercise:
We enjoyed the task or exercise given by the lecturer. The exercise is we have to pair up two words that are totally not related with each other and produce a new word. Then, create images by our own imagination regarding the words we created just now. After that, make a sentence for each pair of words you created and then draw an image to describe the sentence. This exercise is fun and it actually helps us to become more creatively in thinking in order to produce something new based on our thought.
This is the list of the words given by the lecturer for us to pair up:
Choose 3 pairs of number between 00-99. Mix each pair of them together and make a sentence
by using the words you got. Then draw an image to describe the sentences you made.
Here's some of the result we got...
