I have never seen someone explaining a word meaning in such a detail. I am highly obliged to see your video. 🙏🏻

What a wonderful explanation, thank you, David. Loved the art works, LOVED the Trethaway poem. Here's to continuing education.

Juxtaposition is literally technique that places two distinct dissimilar things side by side to bring out their differences . Synonyms adjacent, adjoining, contiguous. For example all fair in love and war or making mountain out of molehill . Juxtaposition can help strengthen argument, create emotional response or otherwise add meaning . Thank you for your wonderful educational literary channel.

Always rich to learn from you, David Biespiel. Thank you.

Never have I ever imagined that education would be this important to me. I wish I would have paid more attention in school.

Wonderful lecture…again. I love not just the examples, but that you took the time to explain the juxtaposition. Thank you.

I am so happy that you have a channel like this. Love you.

Phenomenal series you have here! Thank you for introducing me to the poem at 3:14. It's beautiful.

Now this is how every word should be taught. Very intelligent work! Beautiful.

AHH! I was so confused on Juxtaposition as my exam is near, I gave a try to watch in KZfaq and This really made my day. Thank you ❤️

👌Now it's so simple to Understand.THANKS.🙏

To me, juxtaposition is a comparison of two similar subjects that shows a contrast that are mostly formed by differing realities of the subjects. Like my video "Juxtaposing Two Different Realities."

Wow the explanation was so good loved itfr

Thank you, Sir! I needed this explanation!

When Sir said, "Again, not opposed, but juxtaposed (just opposed)", that killed me. Lol

Thank you so much. I had trouble understanding this concept in my english class, and thanfully this video came in handy!

thank you so much! we had this on our module and we had to answer the quiz about this but our teacher didnt even taught this to us :(( so im here and i understood very well! thank you

I searched this up because juxtaposition was in my cousins spelling bee but I learned some great stuff!

I thoroughly enjoyed this! Thank you!

I have read many pieces on Juxtaposition, and I am wondering if Juxtaposition as a device can exist at a text level where there is a start contrast between the beginning and ending of a narrative with some change in the character, mood, atmosphere and setting going beyond the confines of a sentence. COULD YOU PLEASE ADVISE? :) THANK YOU SO MUCH. Artist Eric Kim also published an article focusing on juxtaposition. He writes, "Juxtaposition is just a fancy word for contrast." The point is, contrast can be achieved in many different ways. It's not just light versus dark or big versus small. In his fourth example of juxtaposition, Kim explores the contrast between the past and the present. We see a daughter looking at herself in the mirror as she puts on a colorful dress. This stands in contrast to the black and white photo of her parents hanging beside her.

I've finally finished the series and this one was my favourite!

I finally understand this word. Thank you

This. Maybe its the alcohol I've been drinking or it a deeper spiritual need but this video with the poem used actually had a serious impact on me and my view of language. I enjoyed this. Thank 6ou for the information.

Thank you, Ravens, very cool!

There IS some element of opposition when you juxtapose two elements. Whether it be color, size, texture, ideology, etc. The huge green leaf is in opposition to the small sphere. As is the technology is in opposition to natural aspects of the leaf.

Thankyou for this amazing explanation David

How beautifully n elaborately explained

Thanks a lot, you help me understand the word. It is a wonderful explanation.

Oh! Love it!

Thank you, this was such an informative video!!

Great, i hope u explain the most important literary terms in literature

Keep it up! There is something I would like to clarify if juxtaposition is the same as antithesis.

Thanks!!! Great video

thanks a lot, I too now understand what juxtaposition means but can you please clarify the difference from oxymorons …are they the same thing? I always get confused about that!

what is the difference between juxtaposition and antithesis

Is this word almost the same as a Dichotomy?

Thanks!

Thank you!

I've always told my students that the Metallica concert with the S.F. Symphony was a great example- do any of you agree?

So like ying & yang ( black or white )

thanks

great explanation! what's the difference between juxtaposition and binary opposition?

What is the difference between paradox and juxtaposition and oxymoron

Absolute beautiful

I regret not being more open minded about poetry in my youth. 😞

Joji really does this in his song,- Why am I still in LA

Thanks king

Love this literary devices, reminds me of oxymoron.

So is it not sexual

Dr Birmingham

Why does sound extremely spiritual.

Can’t life itself be described as a juxtaposition?

Yella?

Why 4 thumbs down? Genuinely wondering.

Shakira brought me here
