A quick definition of juxtaposition:
Term: Juxtaposition
Definition: Juxtaposition means putting two or more things close to each other. It can be things like pictures, words, or objects. It's like putting two puzzle pieces next to each other to see how they fit. Sometimes people use juxtaposition to create contrast or to show how different things can be when they are side by side.
A more thorough explanation:
Juxtaposition is when two or more things are placed next to each other.
For example, in a painting, a bright red apple might be placed next to a dark green leaf. This is an example of juxtaposition because the two colors are placed side by side.
Another example of juxtaposition is when a sad song is played over a happy scene in a movie. The contrasting emotions create a powerful effect.
