Juxtaposition

I noted earlier that I have been watching way too much of The Office lately. I am totally hooked. Basically, at this point, I am just trying to get through the rest of Season Three and finish the unfortunately short Season Four so I can focus on all kinds of self-improvement and that kind of stuff. In my opinion, the people who write that show are total geniuses. What I have noticed more than anything (and maybe it stands out so much because I have seen so many episodes in such a short time) is the use of juxtaposition. There are so many situations where one character is dealing with some kind of a problem (often relationship issues) and the situation is either mirrored, or contrasted by another character. I would love to spend a whole week writing down examples, but I would really be wasting a whole lot of time. It is funny, and frustrating, that I have always wanted to be a writer, and the last few weeks I have realized how much I would enjoy writing reviews and essays on books, movies, or even TV shows. The only problem is I totally suck. Oh well, I guess it gives me something to think about. I wish I wasn’t interested in so many things. It would make deciding what to study and all that much, much easier.

Anyway.

Peace.

So, I just remembered that the names of episodes also have multiple meanings. It is all so well contrived. Wow.
