BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Word Analogy

An analogy is a comparison between two things. In this way, it is similar to the

simile and metaphor. We use analogies all the time informally. In conversation, when
you compare one situation to another, you’re using an analogy. ‘Life is like a box of
chocolates’ is a simile that also compares analogues ideas- the uncertainty and variety
in life experiences with the same in a box of chocolates (teachthought.com/Terry Heick
2014).
