:: JUXTAPOSITION ll ::

My understanding from this lesson is,

Juxtaposition of analogy can be divided into two, which is : Metaphor and Similies.

Metaphor is a figure of speech.

The example of metaphor statement and similies statement is,

Metaphor : Life is a box of chocolate, you will never know what you will get!

Similies : Life is like a maze in which you try to avoid the exit.

From the two examples above, the differences between them is, metaphor statement never add 'like' or 'as', but similies statement.

In the analogy itself, it has logical analogies and affective analogies.

From the fifth slide of "Lesson 5.4 Juxtaposition" powerpoint,

Logical analogies is analogies, which use similarities in the design or function to connect back the subject. For example, the whale and submarine, both of them can dive into the depth of the sea, and yet they still need to surface for air.

Affective analogies is the emotional resemblance. For example, he is like a pig ( because he is lazy ), she is like an ant ( because she is hardworking ).

Before end, i wish to show a picture, u might guess what kind of analogy they have applied on it. A train and a woman, as shown in the photo, how your brain works on this?

Well, what you think on this picture is what i think

and,

this is a picture of "Metaphor". ( please highlight to see the answer :)

If we apply X-Ray technique on human's thought? How would it be?

Good or Bad? Do we know how to differentiate?

Well, i knew.

FOURTH LESSON :: Associated Mind Map "MORTAR & PESTLE" ::

Picture below is my drawing about Mortar and Pestle.

I have choosen five different things as the functions of mortar and pestle. They are SUN, POWER, MEDICAL, MONEY and HEAVY.

Mortar can be the umbrella to protect people from sunlight. For the pestle, it can be transform into telescope by drilling a hole, so people can see trhrough the pastle. By overlapping a lot of pestle, it can build up a tent too.

The reason that i choose medical is because mortar and pestle can make medicine. Its fuction suits for everyone, different race as well.

Heavy, the first sight i saw this term, whats appeared in my mind is a funny scene. It was a kid playing seesaw with himself, another side was a heavy rock, and the character of heavy rock playing is Balance. Thats all!

The second funny things from my mind is, use mortar and pestel to create money. Besides, it also can increase the value of money. The only way, also is the easiest way to create money is, by putting some papers and water into the mortar then beat them with pestle as hard as you can!

Lastly, i would transform mortar as the crown and pestle as the staff of King!!! *can you imagine on that? ohyea, im genius, haha*

:: I like this lesson, Cool~( : ::

lV :: Sharing Creative Thought ::

In the previous lesson, my lecture has mentioned about left-handed and right-handed. Im interested with it so i have done some researches after class.

I found a website, which is listphile.com, they have a list of Famous Left Handed People and proud to say that im familiar with some of those names.

Those famous left-handed people are Albert Einstein, Barack Obama, Justin Bieber, Lady GaGa, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonaroti and Pink. *im glad about this!*

Another website i found is quite funny, even it's name. The website is beinglefthanded.com and it has a particular topic, it is all about Left-Handed. They talk about Left-Handed Test, Left-Handed T-shirt, Left-Handed Birthday, Left-Handed Writing Skills, Left-Handed Astronuts and Left-Handed Guitar Hero! *It is quite interesting, you might free some time to read about it*

Well, i would slightly talk about an article which entitled Left-Handed Brain. *You might read this before continue.*

My opinion of the first paragraph is, it is good to use right brain to process things. Because right brained people tend to be more creative and left brained person is more analytical. They have different advantages, but, lefties hate calculation and always fail his/her mathmatics paper. For the righties, parts of them hate to draw perspective drawing. Now, is my turn to ask "is this good or bad?"

A part from that, the disadvantage for a Chinese who being left-handed is the moment to write chinese calligraphy. 3000 years ago, chinese calligraphy used to write with right-hand, so a chinese-lefty might get a low marks in PMR chinese paper. *pity*

In the main page of beinglefthanded.com, the eye-chatcy blue title "If Being Left Handed Is Wrong, I Don't Want To Be Right", is just like a motive energy for lefties to proud of themself as a 'lefty'.

THIRD LESSON :: Mind Mapping is the Method Of Creative Thinking ::

During my secondary school, i used to jotting notes by using mindmap technique. When i taking diploma in college, lecturer used to ask students pour their ideas by using brainstorming technique. Both techniques can be plain and simple or full with color and complicated. Until i proceed to Degree, i just realize the existence of classified mind map, which is Logical Mind Map and Associated Mind Map. After doing some research about mindmap, i do learnt something from it.

Mindmaping and Brainstorming are two different tools to analyze ideas and problems. For me, Brainstorming is a way of list down own's problems by own's inclination. But, for Logical Mind Map, those extended words or pictures from the central title have related to stereotype. As my knowledge, stereotype means people has a fixed opinion or view on certain objects. In changingminds.org website, stereotype has defined in three categorize, u might click here for details. And, in the Associated Mind Map, between the central title and extended words and pictures are not connected, the meaning in between the extended words and pictures can be fantasy or illusion.

Below was a mind mapping of myself. It is simple and included my biodata, hometwon, and education background as well.

My weekly CS note :)

"Before ending, i would like to tell why my mindmap drew in 'food-style'. Yesterday, i woke up early in the morning and rush into class without having breakfast. After my 2hours Korean class which started at 8am, followed by another 2hours was Creative Studies Lecture. During the 2hours lecture, i was starving for food, then i just transform my imagination on my notes. Thats why my mindmap have burger, waffer and coke. LOL"
