Week 7

Juxtaposition - Anology

During juxtaposition, there is transference of meaning from something familiar to something less familiar.

Analogy is to use something we familiar to explain something that is rather complicated, or to make strange becomes familiar. Analogy appears in two forms, namely metaphor and similes. Metaphor is to link two things that seem different at first by some similarity using imaginative ways. Similes is to link two things using their likelihood.

There are two categories of analogy. Logical analogies use similarities in the design, structure or function to connect back to the subjects. Affective analogies are the emotional resemblance, the intrinsic value of the object are used as a comparision.

During this week class, some exercises were given:

We are asked to choose three numbers with two digits and write them on paper. The numbers that I choosen are 18, 57, 93.

Then, two lists of words were given as

By refering to the lists, we are asked to write the combination of words according to the number that we have choosen. The combination of words of mine are:

Flower-Wood

Fire-Tree

Leaf-Wind

For the first exercise, we are to write a sentence that links the two words (according to the original order). The sentences of mine are:

1. A purple flower grows on a white wood.

2. Fire located besides a tree.

3. A leaf flies when wind blows.

For second exercise, we have to sketch to illustrate the sentence.

For third exercise, we combined the two words to form a new word. Then, we sketched to illustrate the new words.

The result of all the exercises are shown in the following image.

Next, a passage is created by us to describe a word using each of the following images.

"Love"

"Love is like chili, it makes my tongue hot, makes my stomach cramps, makes my breath short, but it makes my heart flies."

"Men"

"Men think that they are predators. Underneath the fact is, they are preys!"

"Life"

"Life is, you want to escape out of the cage you are living, while those 'outside' the cage wants to rush into the cage you are living. Because everyone believe that, what other possess is better."

"Happiness"

"When you can wake up in the early of the morning and not feeling the time is chasing after you, you are encompassed by happiness."

"Pain"

"Pain makes your serenity and rational dripping away from your soul."

"Love"

"Love has no boundary, love has no discrimination, love has no reason. I love you because you are who you are."
