Week 7 - Juxtaposition

In my personal reflection. Juxtaposition is placing two variable side by side in order to get comparison. Usually turning something familiar to something not so familiar or vice-versa. Juxtaposition(literary), with contrast, two objects or texts oppose each other. Contrast is a relationship between two discourse segments. Example: It's raining, but I am not taking an umbrella. Juxtaposition also can apply in emotion, abstract concepts or character.

The 'Lost' season 1 was used in the lecturer for juxtaposition. For example: Chaos/Calm, East/West and so on.
