ANALOGIES
Crumb is to bread as petal is to….Slide2
OUCH
Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master.
She
grew on him like he was a colony of E. coli and he was room-temperature Canadian beef.
She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.Slide3
Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.
He was as tall as a six-foot-three-inch tree.
The knowledge that his marriage of 30 years had disintegrated because of his wife’s infidelity came as a rude shock, like a surcharge at a formerly surcharge-free ATM.
The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn’t.
McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup.Slide4
Her hair glistened in the rain like a nose hair after a sneeze.
The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease.
They lived in a typical suburban neighbourhood with picket fences that resembled Selena Gomez’s teeth.
John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met.
He fell for her like his heart was a mob informant and she was the East River.Slide5
The plan was simple, like my brother-in-law Phil. But unlike Phil, this plan just might work.
He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck, either, but a real duck that was actually lame, maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.
The ballerina rose gracefully en pointe and extended one slender leg behind her, like a dog at a fire hydrant.
He was deeply in love. When she spoke, he thought he heard bells, as if she were a garbage truck backing up.
She walked into my office like a centipede with 98 missing legs.
It hurt the way your tongue hurts after you accidentally staple it to the wall.Slide6
WHAT IT IS
A comparison between two things – for the purpose of explanation or clarification
Synonyms:
Similarity, likeness, likeness, parallel
"Analogies prove nothing, that is true," wrote Sigmund Freud, "but they can make one feel more at home." Slide7
METAPHOR
A metaphor claims total identification
Says one thing to mean another – not literal
That child is a hurricane
He is a shell of a manSlide8
SIMILE
Compares two different things to create new meaning
Made explicitly aware of the comparison because of the use of “like” or “as”
He is like a shell of a manSlide9
ANALOGY
Shows how two different things are comparable – but in more depth
More than a figure of speech – more of a logical argument
Pupils are more like oysters than sausages. The job of teaching is not to stuff them and then seal them up, but to help them open and reveal the riches within. There are pearls in each of us, if only we knew how to cultivate them with ardour and persistence.Slide10
