Juxtaposition, Some Example in sentences from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrast_%28linguistics%29

1. It's raining, but I am not taking an umbrella.
2. We will be giving a party for our new students. We won't, however, be serving drinks.

It refers to something which is contrast, two object or words which oppose one another.
it is more easy to understand in this way.(showing pictures or examples..

A good exmple of Juxtaposition because the painting show a strong contrast of race, level, fate and so on.

another example of juxtaposition. A tank and a toy bike.

old style building vs the factory, development and the culture contrast.


My Reflection...

Understand the juxtaposition will help us in the design or art industries. besides that, in a story or movie also apply the theory, juxtaposition. It's an arrangement of two opposing ideas, characters, objects and so forth to make the story more interesting. because of the juxtaposition, it grabs audiences attention. The contrast can speak a lot.
