Juxploration on analogy metaphor

*Analogy in Juxtaposition
1, making familiar
2. use in daily conversation to use something same to explain something complex

*Analogy divided in to METAPHOR and SIMILE
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.
( example taken from: Roger von Oech’s A Whack on the Side of the Head )


( taken in lecturer notes)




There are two type of anologies
a. LOGICAL ANALOGIES -use similarities in design, structure or function to connect back to the subject

b. AFFECTIVE ANALOGIES -emotional resemblance-the use of an animal to explain a certain characteristic of a person-more frequently in conversation to emphrase certain points.
