  1. Juxtaposition and Repetition By Kirill Volguin and Andrew Vo

  2. Please, before we start the show… • Turn off all cellular devices. • Soothe and/or attempt to smother all babies. • Take notes when something is red. • Thankyou! Enjoy.

  3. What exactly is Juxtaposition? • Whenever I have a question like this, I usually consult someone who knows their way around literature very well. • Fortunately for us, there is a website called WikiAnswers where these kind of people don’t have anything better to do than to answer your questions. =D

  4. Take Heed! • Juxtaposition is like the “father” of an oxymoron, but is not the same thing. Oxymoron is something like “fiery ice” or “pretty ugly”. An oxymoron is a type of juxtaposition. • Juxtaposition can be done in any form: writing, pictures, the senses, etc.

  5. An explanation. • Q: What does juxtaposition mean? • A: Juxtaposition is a circumstance where two unlike things are next to one another. It has a quality of being unexpected. A teacup and its saucer are expected. A kitty cat who is reflected in a mirror looking like a Lion is not.  http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_does_juxtaposition_mean

  6. An example. • Q: Can you give a example of juxtaposition? • A: For example, Michael Moore uses juxtaposition in Fahrenheit 911, when he plays the song What a Wonderful World while playing scenes of war and violence.  http://uglydemocrats.com/democrats/United-States/Michael-Moore/ http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Can_you_give_a_example_of_juxtaposition

  7. Why on earth would anyone need Juxtaposition??!? • The formal definition is: To place side by side, especially for comparison or contrast. • So basically, a person would use juxtaposition if they wanted you to see how much of a difference there is between two things. This can help understand the subject being contrasted in a new light. YAY! http://westsidepermies.ning.com/

  8. Juxtaposition in Literature From Romeo and Juliet: “Here is much to do with hate, but more with love. Why then, O bawling love! O bawling hate! O anything! of nothing first create! O heavy lightness! serious vanity! Mis-shapen chaos and well seeming forms.” This is more of a long list of oxymorons, but an oxymoron is a type of juxtaposition. http://www.netvert.biz/wordpower/oxymoron1.html

  9. TAKE NOTE! • Juxtaposition can be used to show similarity OR contrast!

  11. What on earth can you do with something that keeps repeating itself? • Well… think about it. • If something requires repeating, it requires attention. • Repetition is often employed when a certain subject requires emphasis, or when something needs to sound long and drawn out.

  12. Example • The man ran for ever and ever and ever and ever. • Repetition is meant to emphasize the length that the man ran.

  13. Parallel Structure • Repetition can also be found in the parallel structure of sentences. For example: “We will fight! We will win!! We will be victorious!!! THIS IS SPAARRTTAA!” In this case, “We will” is repeated to emphasize the fact that it will happen. Esp. when yelled by Leonidas.

  14. So basically… • Anything that repeats itself is repetition.

  15. STOP!

  16. Quiz Time!!

  17. AP Question • Analyze the essays and write a well organized essay that compare and contrasts each author’s use of juxtaposition and repetition and how these literary devices help identify and describe the tone of each passage.
