This is achieved through the use of vivid descriptions that appeal to the reader's senses, creating an image or idea in their mind.

Juxtaposition is a term used to describe the act or instance of placing two or more elements close together or side by side, often to compare or contrast them, or to create an interesting effect. This can be done to show similarities or differences between the two elements
In literary terms, juxtaposition is used to show contrast by placing concepts side by side. For example, the quotes "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country", and "Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate", both by John F. Kennedy, are examples of juxtaposition
