Juxtaposition

My definition of juxtaposition is combining two words to create a new definition... and that new definition is some sort of representational of the things we want to relate... get it?? heheh..
for an example, you want to say you are hungry, so will say "hungry as a wolf"... u wont say "hungry as a rabbit" because you know that wolf is a good representation to express hunger...

never the less.. meaning can differ based of race and culture.. what is good here could be something bad at another place. for instance, the colour yellow.. in Malaysia, the colour yellow symbolizes royalty but in the western countries, yellow is the colour to express cowardness... so guys... be careful.. hehe

here's the exercise that we did during class...
