Analogy

 

Analogy

An analogy is a comparison between two things that are different but share some similarities. It helps explain or clarify an idea by showing how it's like something more familiar.

Simple Definition:

Analogy = saying one thing is like another to help explain it.

Example:

• Analogy: "The brain is like a computer."
• What it means: Just like a computer processes information, stores data, and runs programs, your brain processes thoughts, stores memories, and controls your actions.

Another Example:

• "Trying to find a good idea without research is like trying to find a needle in a haystack."
• It helps you understand how hard it is to come up with something good without proper information.
