Simile
~figure of speech that draws similarity between two different things but otherwise not the same between one another.

Irony/ inconsistency

example of Irony:
  * the biggest cat in the world is named Tiny
  * what I do know is the amount of things that I do not know.

Paradox:

Differences between Irony and Paradox

Irony:
  ~ in irony the truth about both contradicting situations are debatable. We could never be sure which one is true and which one is wrong

Paradox:
   ~ In paradox, the truth is stated directly. In both contradicting situations one is true while the other is false.
   e.g: this sentence is grammatically error.

Parable:
   ~ the symbolic expression of a deeper meaning through a story or scene acted out by human, animal or mythical characters.
   e.g: batu belah batu bertangkup, cinderella, arnab dan kura-kura, etc. This story have their own moral values behind the story.
