What is an analogy?
The definition of analogy is an expression of similarity between
two unlike things. Usually the comparison involves two or
more comparison points.
In real life, analogies are used to explain and teach.
Their most common uses are to
Explain
something unknown in terms of something known.
Explain
something unfamiliar in terms of something familiar.
Explain
something unseen in terms of something seen.
An analogy usually does more than describe the appearance of
something; it explains how something works. Analogies usually
oversimplify to give an frame of reference in which detail may
be understood.
