You were taught in your previous lesson that analogy is a powerful tool which
challenges and encourages you to think critically. It is a strong rhetorical device used
to make rational argument and support ideas by showing connections and
comparisons between things which highlight how they are like.
You learned that there are seven 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.

Lesson
Analogies in Comparison

What’s In
Before we 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 is an analogy. Number 1 is done for you.

What’s New
The game you have just played showed 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 frontliners in treating affected persons. Study the picture below and analyze the
statements that follow.
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
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 the
complications brought out by this virus.
More Examples:
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.
2. The lockdown seemingly restores Mother Earth in the same way that a mother
soothes her son’s pains.
This time, let’s make use of the lines from the poem “First a Poem Must be
Magical” by Jose Garcia Villa to identify the point of comparison between lines.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A. Directions: Pair the words which can be compared to each other, then give
the point of comparison. Copy the box below and write your answers in it.
Number 1 is done for you.
1. friend a. wealth
3. education c. shield

5. health e. knot
B. Directions: Read the poem below and point out the similarities between the sea
