What I Need to know

You were taught in your previous lesson that analogy is a

powerful tool which challenge and encourage you to think critically. It is a strong
rhetorical device used to make rational argument and support ideas by showing
connections and comparisons between dissimilar things which highlights how they
are like.
You learned that, there are 7 types of analogy, these are: Synonyms,
Antonyms, Part to Whole, Cause and Effect, Person to Situation, Geography or
Location and Time. These analogies help you familiarize with concepts that are
abstract. This lesson will guide you to visualize these concepts. Understanding
analogies is essential in reasoning, learning, communicating and problem solving
which will contribute a profound and broad effect on you on how you view and
understand the world.

After reading this module, you should be able to use analogy to describe or
make a point, specifically, you should be able to:
1. pick out pair of words that show analogy;
2. identify the point of comparison between words;
3. write sentences using analogies to describe or make a point;

In going through the module, you have to extend your patience in

understanding what you are reading. Follow the directions and/or instructions in the
activities. Answer the entire given test and exercises carefully. Comply the required
activities provided.

Lesson
Analogies in Comparison

What’s In

Before we will proceed to our lesson, let’s play 4 pics 1 word. These words
are taken from the reading activity in Module 5.

4 pics 1 word is a word guessing game. It presents you with 4 pictures for you
to guess what specific word fits with the theme of the photos presented. The answer
of the two words is an analogy. Number 1 is done for you.

1.

 What’s New

The game you just played show relationship of ideas. In this lesson, you will
use analogies to describe or make a point. The comparison does not only show
relationship but also the explanation why the words or objects are related.

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, doctors and other health workers are
the front liners in treating affected persons. Study the picture below and analyze the
statements that follow.

12
1. The doctors are like heroes who save lives by sacrificing their own.

2. CoVID 19 patients lie awake as if preys unwillingly waiting for their predators.

What is it?
8

The sentences show analogy to describe or further explain something.

In sentence 1, doctors are compared to heroes because like heroes, they
gave their lives to others. An example of a hero is our national hero, Dr. Jose P.
Rizal. He died for the Filipinos to be freed from the rule of the Spaniards, in the same
way that doctors died to save the lives of the CoVID-19 patients.

In sentence number 2, patients are compared to preys, like preys they are
victims of predator. An example of this is a frog as prey, helplessly eaten by its
predator, the snake. The CoVID-19 patients are likewise helpless from CoVID-19
since no vaccine is developed yet to heal the disease.

More Example
Now, let’s have another example to further understand how to use analogy to
describe or make a point.
Study another picture and analyse the statements that follow.

13
1. The streets, cemetery of stillness, can be inhabited by ghosts.

In this statement, the streets are compared to a cemetery which is believed to

be inhabited by ghosts because of its silence.

2. The pandemic healed nature in the same way that a mother soothes our pains.
9
In this statement, the pandemic is compared to a mother because like
mothers the pandemic renewed the nature’s devastated condition.

And here’s more…

This time, let’s make use of the lines from the poem entitled “First a Poem
Must be Magical” by Jose Garcia Villa to identify the point of comparison between
lines.

First, a poem must be magical,

Then musical as a sea-gull.

In the first line, the poem is like magic because, it can make a reader wonder.
In the second line, the poem is musical as a sea-gull because like the sound of a
sea-gull, it has rhythm and rhyme.

It must be slender as a bell,

And it must hold fire as well.

The first line shows that the poem is like a bell because like a bell, poem must
be balanced, not exaggerated and at the same time not dull. The second line tells
that the poem is like a fire because it has the ability to light those who read it and
boost their spirit.

It must have the wisdom of bows

And must kneel like a rose.

The first line tells us that the poem has the wisdom of bows because like
bows, it directs the arrow to its mark. Just like a good poem, it never goes astray.

14
The second line, the poem kneels like a rose because the rose symbolizes humility.
A poem should also be humble and beautiful as it is.

Activity 1: COMMON SENSE 10

Now, try this:

A. Pair the words which can be compared to each other, then give the point of
comparison. Write your answer in the box.

1. friend a. chair

2. neighbour b. teddy bear

3. classmate c. lamp

4. stranger d. cushion

5. teacher e. mask

B. Read the poem and identify the creature which is compared to the sea. The word
11different characteristics or abilities are
is not stated in the poem but the creature’s
each given in every stanza.

The Sea
by Natividad Marquez

Why does the sea laugh, Mother,

As it glints beneath the sun?
It is thinking of the joys, my child,
That it wishes every one.

Why does the sea sob so, Mother,

As it breaks on the rocky shore?
It recalls the sorrows of the world.
And weeps forevermore.

Why is the sea so peaceful, Mother,

As if it were fast asleep?
It would give our tired hearts, dearest child,
The comfort of the deep.

And chafed in the sultry air
And wished for rainy days.
