Week 9 Juxtaposition(Exercise)

This week, Mr. Radzi give us some exercise about juxtaposition, just to let us completely understand what juxtaposition is about. This was the first class that ended at 6pm, simply because the exercise given are interesting and interactive. I think most of us are quite enjoying. Anyway, i hope the rest of the classes can be like this, at least not boring notes, but some interactive exercise can actually help us on the understanding.

There are the exercise that we have done during the class.
First, we are given 2 groups of words, and then choose 3 numbers that you like,according to the groups of words and the numbers beside them,then, use those words that u chosen, form a sentence and sketch it out.

After that, combine the words you chosen to become a totally new word. For example, Flowerwood, Flywater and sketch it out. The last exercise was, HOW MERGERS GO WRONG?
we are requested to merge 2 kinds of animals together, hence, they must not survive.I used elephant and hen's feet, trying to make the elephant unbalance, of course, this is not the answer.

The answer is............................................................................

Week 7 Juxtaposition

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.

Juxtaposition also is the arrangement of two or more ideas, characters, actions, settings, phrases, or words side-by-side or in similar narrative moments for the purpose of comparison, contrast, rhetorical effect, suspense, or character development.

Juxtaposition may refer to synonymous with contrast, two objects or texts that oppose one another.

Random juxtaposition is two random objects moving in parallel, a technique intended to stimulate creativity.

The 'Lost' Season 1 was played in the lecture, the juxtaposition literary occur.

For examples:
Success/Failure - In his past, Jack's refusal to give up on Beth in the OR where unsuccessful, but when he refused to give up on Charlie he was successful with CPR. ("All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues")

Lucky/Unlucky - Hurley and Walt play backgammon, where Walt is lucky to get the rolls he wanted each time and Hurley is unlucky, getting rolls that caused him to lose. ("All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues")

Brokeness/Hope - Directly after the moment described above, a light comes on in the Hatch, reinvigorating Locke's hopes and faith in the Island (and his destiny).

Life/Death - Boone dies at the same time Claire gives birth to Aaron, showing a juxtaposition of life and death with a strong contrast between the two. ("Do No Harm")
