    G7 - Q1 Analogy

    Uploaded by

    Miccaella Maglalang
    An analogy compares two concepts or ideas to highlight their similarities, with the goal of explaining one concept based on the other. There are two main types of analogies: those that identify identical relationships between pairs of concepts, and those that identify shared abstract qualities between unrelated concepts. To write a good analogy, one should use easily understandable imagery to set up clear comparisons and contrasts that inspire deeper thought in the reader. Common analogy forms include metaphors, similes, allegories, parables, and exemplification.

    ANALOGY

    Analogy
    An analogy is something
    that shows how two things
    are alike, but with the
    ultimate goal of making a
    point about this comparison.
    The purpose of an analogy is not
    merely to show, but also to explain. For
    this reason, an analogy is more
    complex than a simile or a metaphor,
    which aim only to show without
    explaining. (Similes and metaphors can
    be used to make an analogy, but
    usually analogies have additional
    information to get their point across.)
    Example:
    What you’re doing is as useful as rearranging
    deck chairs on the Titanic.
    2 DIFFERENT
    TYPES OF
    ANALOGY
    1. Analogies that identify
    identical relationships.
    2. Analogies that identify
    shared abstraction.
    1. Analogies that identify identical
    relationships. Greek scholars used
    analogies to directly illustrate similar
    relationships between two pairs of
    words, often for the purpose of logical
    argument.

    • These analogies take the form “A is to


    B as C is to D.”
    Example:
    Black is to white as on is to off.
    2. Analogies that identify shared
    abstraction.
    This type of analogy compares two
    things that are technically unrelated, in
    order to draw comparisons between an
    attribute or pattern they share.
    Example:
    Raising children is like
    gardening—nurture them
    and be patient
    HOW DO YOU
    WRITE A GOOD
    ANALOGY?
    • Try to create easy-to-understand imagery.
    If you’re trying to explain to your reader how one thing is similar to
    another, you have to make sure the example you’re using is
    common and easily understood. The point of an analogy is to
    encourage deeper thought, and that won’t work if the readers are
    unfamiliar with the image you’re conjuring.
    • Work to compare and contrast. Think about the idea you’re trying
    to get across. When trying to find something commonplace to
    compare it to, think about possible connections between the two
    things— both similarities and differences. Which evokes the most
    powerful image? Which will be able to set up the comparison the
    clearest?
    • Think of ways to inspire. The best analogies both explain and
    inspire. As a literary device, an analogy is a powerful way to
    communicate a message. However, it can also turn an idea into a
    vivid image in the reader’s mind that will stick long after they’ve
    finished reading.
    TYPES OF
    ANALOGY
    1. Metaphor
    A metaphor compares two subjects
    without any connecting words such as
    “like” or “as.” Metaphors are considered
    a strong form of analogy as they assert
    that one thing is another.
    2. Simile
    A simile is a comparison between two
    things using the connecting words “like” or
    “as.” Not quite as strong of a comparison as
    metaphor, simile still requires the reader to
    understand the similarities between the two
    things and make new cognitive links.
    3. Allegory
    An allegory is a story in which the
    characters, images, and/or events function as
    symbols. These symbols can be interpreted to
    have deeper significance and may illustrate
    moral truths or a political or historical
    situation.
    4. Parable
    Similar to allegory, though more
    condensed, a parable is a simple story used
    to illustrate an instructive lesson or principal.
    5. Exemplification
    Exemplification is the relation between a
    sample and what it refers to. For example, if
    a sign at an arboretum said “oak” in front of
    an oak tree, that tree would be an
    exemplification of the label.
