 The teacher will explain briefly the answers on the motivation.
 Introduce the topic for today’s lesson.

C. Abstraction:
 The teacher will now discuss about the topic, ANALOGY.
 Analogy comes from the Greek word Analogia which is a
combination of the prefix ana (upon, gain, or back) and a
suffix logus (ratio, word, or speech).
 Analogy is a comparison between two things. Two things are
being compared maybe very dissimilar but the analogy forces
the reader or the listener to understand the connection
between them. So, how do we read an analogy expression?
 Always remember that colons are part of the structure of
the analogy.
 Analogy Format: A : B :: C : D
 Give example of word analogy.
 Example:
red : stop :: green : ___________
 we read this as: red is to stop as green is to
blank
 It is used to describe or make a point about something by
examining its similarities with another thing.
 Examples:
1. Education is the key to success.
2. The health workers are as busy as the bees.
3. Ana is mistreated by her stepmother. She is indeed a
Cinderella.
COMPARISON SIMILARITIES TYPE OF REASON
ANALOGY
Education & They open metaphor Comparison of
key something 2 unlike things
Health They keep on simile Comparison
workers & working all day using like or as
bees
Ana & They are mistreated allegory Comparison to
Cinderella by their stepmother a character or
historical or
political figure

 Explain the lesson further.

 Some of the common literary devices can be used as an
example of an analogy. These includes simile, metaphor,
and allegory.
  Types of analogy: As the definition of analogy includes
all types of comparisons, the following list of literary
devices all qualify as analogies.

1. SIMILE- It is a comparison of two things that are

essentially different, using the words like or as.
 Examples:
 My mother is sweet like sugar.
 She is as cold as ice.
 Her children are like diamonds.
2. METAPHOR- It is a comparison that describes a
person or using words that are not meant literally.
 Examples:
 Her children are her treasures.
 Books are his vacation.
 Grandmother’s lap is a soft pillow.
3. ALLEGORY- It is an expression by which the
characters and events are symbols that stand for
ideas about human life or for a political or historical
situation.
 Example:
 My intelligent classmate is the Einstein of the
class.
