Things around us

Assalammualikum...

Last two weeks, I've learned about things around us likes metaphor, simile, satire/parody, irony, paradox and parable/allegory.

metaphor:

  • is used to describe a subject as/like exactly the same to the object by drawing the parallel in properties between the object and object  

simil
  • figure of speech that draws similarity between two different things but otherwise not the same between the another.

satire/parody:
  • the use of with especially irony, sarcasm, and ridicule, to criticize a particular subject as depicted in literate works, plays or films.

irony:
  • inconsistency between what might be expected to happen and what actually happens especially when this differences seems absurd/ laughable.

paradox:
  • a statement. a situation that is true but seems to defy logic/ intuition.

parable/ allegory
  • the symbolic expressions of a deeper meaning through a story or scene acted out by humans, animal or mythical characters.
