Module 4:

Using Analogies in Describing or Making a Point

An analogy is way of comparison-it is when one idea, concept, or thing is compared to something else that is significantly different from the first.

​

There are many patterns in using analogies.

Study the following examples:

a. Synonyms – are words that mean the same thing. The first pair of words mean the same thing, so the second pair must mean the same thing too.

​

Example: delay: stall :: allow : permit

​

b. Antonyms – are words that mean the opposite, and so antonym analogies consist of two pairs of opposites.

​

Example: whisper: yell :: tame : wild

​

c. Object/Purpose – the first word in each pair names and the second word in each pair tells what the object is used for.

​

Example: book: reading:: guitar : music

​

d. Source/Product – name a product and tell where it comes from.

​

Example: wheat: field:: cranberries : bog

​

e. Part/Whole – the first word of each pair names a specific item, and the second word names a more general item that includes the first.

​

Example: home: neighborhood:: ant : colony

​

f. Animal/Habitat – the first word names an animal, and the second word tells where it lives.

Example: dolphin: ocean:: bear : forest

​
