WHAT IS AN ANALOGY? 01-06-2012
Out of all the language tools that are used in understanding concepts, analogy is one of the most important. Making an analogy is drawing parallels between any two things, concepts, processes or relationships. That way it becomes easier to understand ICFES EXAM. Making an analogy is understanding a new idea in terms of ideas that we know from before. An analogy is based on an underlying similarity in things.
EXAMPLES:
- Inside is to outside as upside is to downside
- Office is to working as kitchen is to cooking
- Just as the Earth revolves around the Sun, an electron revolves around the nucleus
- Fish is to water as bird is to air
- A gang of boys is like a pack of wolves
- Just as sword is the weapon of a warrior, pen is the weapon of a writer
- A doctor's diagnostic method is similar to a detective's investigation
- What a general is to an army, a CEO is to a company
- What a cobra is to a mongoose, a cat is to a dog
- Ice floats in water just like wood floats in it
- What a note is to a singer, a word is to a writer
- Just as a caterpillar grows out of its cocoon, so must we grow out of our comfort zone
