 What I Need to Know

An Analogy is something that shows how two things are alike, but with the ultimate
goal of making a point about the 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. Analogies compare two unlike things but add information to get their point
across. (Source:www.masterclass.com)

After working on this module, you will be able to :

1. determine the appropriate concept to complete the analogy;

2. use analogy to describe or make a point.

 What I Know

2. Analogies allow to say something in literal way.

3. An analogy is saying something is like something else to make some sort

of an explanatory point.

4. An analogy statement can be written using the words like or as.

5. The point of an analogy is merely to show relationship of words.

 What is It

In the previous activity (What’s In), the book is compared to a very special friend or a
best friend, which means a book is true from start to end and is there to lean on anytime,
that is an example of an analogy which describes or makes a point.

An analogy is saying something is like something else to make some sort of

explanatory point.
First example, “Life is like a box of chocolates---you never know what you are going
to get.” (www. masteclass.com).
Explanation: Life is compared to a box of chocolates which is full of surprises that
you will never know what will happen in the next day.

Second Example: You have to be as busy as a bee to get good grades in high
school.
Explanation: The speaker is using a simile to compare the task of a bee to the task
of a high school student. But the ultimate goal is not just to compare one task to another, it is
to communicate that like an industrious bee that always be seen buzzing around to collect
pollen and nectar in order to pollinate plants and flowers, a student must also be an
industrious searcher of knowledge and does willingly his work as a student to get good
grades.

Partly, you can use simile in creating an analogy because of the words like or as.
Simile is saying something is like something else. For example, “Life is like a box of
chocolates.” It merely compares two unlike things, the life and a box of chocolates using the
word like. And metaphor also can be partly used as analogy. Since metaphor is often
poetically saying something is something else. For example, “Life is a box of chocolates.” It
compares two unlike things without using the word like. The examples state that life is full of
surprises but it was not explained.

Analogies are literary device that can be used to describe a situation in more
relatable ways and to compare two very unlike things but with the ultimate goal of making a
point about the comparison.

Activity 3: Explain me!

Directions: Read the simple analogies made in everyday life.
(Source: kidsconnect.com)
Explain the analogy (how it works and what it means)
Write your answers in your answer sheet.

1. Finding that man will be like finding a needle in a haystack.
