                               **********************************************

Antithesis: A scheme (a change in standard word order or pattern VS trope) that makes use of contrasting words, phrases, sentences, or ideas for emphasis (generally used in parallel grammatical structures). When contrasting ideas are brought together, the idea is expressed more emphatically. As a literary device, antithesis makes contrasts in order to examine pros and cons of a subject under discussion and helps to bring forth judgment on that particular subject. Example: " Americans in need are not strangers, they are citizens, not problems, but priorities."; One small step for a man, one giant leap for all mankind.
A statement that has opposite opinions placed in one line; A figure of speech which contrasts ideas, words, and concepts in one sentence. To be an antithesis, a sentence should have contradicting words positioned in a balanced way in a phrase or a clause;

In antithesis a striking opposition or contrast of words or sentiments is made in the same sentence. It is employed to secure emphasis: * Man proposes, God disposes * Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice * Many are called, but few are chosen.

"You agree to disagree to the solution, which Jack gave you the previous day?" Well, you can see the way the statement has opposite opinions placed in one line. This is called antithesis - a figure of speech which contrasts ideas, words and concepts in one sentence. However, contrasting words like bittersweet, dark-light, etc. aren't antithesis. Antithesis examples can be commonly spotted in novels, poems and quotes. In fact, you can find people often using quotes like 'to err is human, to forgive is divine' to inculcate good acts in others, which is a very valid example of antithesis. Antithesis is normally used to give out the exact opposite meaning of something. Opposites are not always for arguing or conflicting with each other; it is just the way you use to describe two different moods. Read on to get a clear idea on antithesis. 

NOTE: Don't get antithesis confused with oxymoron's.

* The more haste, the less speed * The more laws, the more offenders * (The) more you have / get the more you want * Conversely, the less you need, the more you have, the more of a free citizen you get to be; The biggest mistake I've made in my adult life was convincing myself that I needed a lot of things. Sure, some of you might laugh at the notion. (en cambio, a la inversa, on the other hand, on / to the contrary or vice versa)

What is the difference between "On the contrary" and "In contrast"? If they are in fact different, could you please provide some examples to highlight the differences.
a) We use "on the contrary" only when dealing with opinions:
"Some people say that older people are wiser. On the contrary, I've met many foolish grandparents, and a number of very sensible young adults."
b) "In contrast" can be used very generally, and is more useful for descriptions.
"Joshua was a foolish old man. In contrast, his son was thoughtful and hardworking."
(It happens that these descriptions are both opinions, but they're both my opinions.
I'm not opposing an opinion, so I don't use "on the contrary".)
