JUXTAPOSITION !! (ANALOGY VS METAPHOR)

ANALOGY VS METAPHOR:

**what is ANALOGY???

it is a cognitive process of transferring information from a particular subject (the analogue or source) to another particular subject (the target), and a linguistic expression corresponding to such a process

**what is METAPHOR???

A metaphor is an analogy between two objects or ideas; the analogy is conveyed by the use of a metaphorical word in place of some other word. For example: "Her eyes were glistening jewels".


**What is the DIFFERENCES between Analogy and Metaphor???

"A metaphor is more forceful (active) than an analogy, because metaphor asserts two things are the same, whereas anology implies a difference; or other rhethorical comparative figures of speech, such as metonymy, parable, simile, and synecdoche, are species of metaphor distinguished by how the comparison is communicated."

this is an example of a metarphor:
the smoking effects everyone around negetavily just like the factories...it effects people's lives

JUXTAPOSITION ( left-right brain )!!!

Right Brain vs. Left Brain:

Definition

This theory of the structure and functions of the mind suggests that the two different sides of the brain control two different “modes” of thinking. It also suggests that each of us prefers one mode over the other.

Discussion

Experimentation has shown that the two different sides, or hemispheres, of the brain are responsible for different manners of thinking. The following table illustrates the differences between left-brain and right-brain thinking:

Right Brain :

Random

Intuitive

Holistic
Synthesizing

Subjective

Looks at whole

left brain:

Logical
Sequential

Rational

Analytical

Objective

Looks at parts



Most individuals have a distinct preference for one of these styles of thinking. Some, however, are more whole-brained and equally adept at both modes. In general, schools tend to favor left-brain modes of thinking, while downplaying the right-brain ones. Left-brain scholastic subjects focus on logical thinking, analysis, and accuracy. Right-brained subjects, on the other hand, focus on aesthetics, feeling, and creativity.

JUXTAPOSITION !!

this is a very intresting subject to talk about and to me i think its one of the most important subject..

so the first question will be what is JUXTAPOSITION ??
well ... "Juxtaposition can be defined as placing two variables, side by side and their contrast or similarities 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 familar or vice-versa."

from: lecturer notes

when we mention JUXTAPOSITION that means we are refering to:
Juxtaposition (literary), synonymous with contrast, two objects or texts that oppose one another.
Random juxtaposition, two random objects moving in parallel, a technique intended to stimulate creativity.

from: lecturer notes

but then ..what is random juxtapostion??
Random Juxtaposition refers to the stimulation of creativity in problem solving, design or other creative pursuit by confronting two unrelated concepts or objects, usually the goal or problem to be solved on the one hand and a randomly selected object or concept on the other. Similar to an oxymoron.
