A special form of comparison.

Analogy is a good way to explain something difficult or abstract by showing its similarity to something concrete or easy to understand.

(How has modern urban life made humans like rats?) (How does geographical dislocation affect humans and

animals alike?)

In Comparison, both subjects belong to the same general class of things, and you assume your readers are interested in both.

In Analogy, you and your readers are really only concerned with one of the subjects. The second subject just serves to explain the first.

The two subjects in Analogy don’t belong to the same class of things, but they do share certain elements which give the analogy pattern the power to explain—even to speculate how things might be.

How are apples and oranges good subjects for a Comparison pattern?

How are an umbrella and a lamp good subjects for an Analogy pattern?

◦ If distant galaxies are really receding from the earth, and if more distant galaxies are receding faster than nearby ones, a remarkable picture of the universe emerges. Imagine that the galaxies were raisins scattered through a rising lump of bread dough. As the dough expanded, the raisins would be carried farther and farther apart from each other. If you were standing on one of the raisins, how would things look? You wouldn’t feel any motion yourself, of course, just as you don’t feel the effects of the earth’s motion around the sun, but you would notice that your nearest neighbor was moving away from you. This motion would be due to the fact that the dough between you and your nearest neighbor would be expanding, pushing the two of you apart.

Mike and Tim:Something always breaksPeople get hurtDrinking is involvedYou need to planYou need suppliesYou need transportationYou need a locationBoth always result in crying, pregnant women

Kristen and Bri: You need to plan. You need supplies/food. There is a whole lot of people involved. You need a place. You need a back-up plan. Somebody always gets hurt. There will be blood. Teehee. You need moolah. It gets noisy. Someone is always large and in charge. At the end, it always looks like all hell broke loose. Rules are broken. It gets out of control. There are after effects.

Kristie and Kim:You need supplies (food, weapons, etc.)The house has to present a clean and united image like each country must

appear strong.You invite guests/confer with allies…both require people skills.Must make people happy, citizens in a warstate need morale.People in a war and guests of a party need common entity. People a party

are celebrating a birthday, getting in touch with friends, when citizens of a war state have a common goal to overcome the enemy.

bombs, injuries Preparing for emergencies

How is love like flood destruction of a levee?

1. Emotional barriers are like the levee and good love can break it down.

2. When the levee breaks and it floods, your everything changes.

3. Water pressure is related to emotions which can build up and eventually break the barrier (levee).

4. The rescue workers are like your best friends (or therapist) who helps you after a bad breakup.

5. Sometimes the levees are built haphazardly because you want love to break them down.

Christina, et.al Resistance Blocks vision Comforting to know that it is there, but disarming to think that it

can fall apart at any time. Takes effort and hard work to create, as well as keep stable. Unpredictable When it breaks, all hell breaks loose. Liable to lead to a lot of damage/destruction. There can be a considerable amount of pressure involved. Hard to look over. NOT to be messed with. Built strong; whether or not it lasts depends on how strong it is

built.

Kristie, et al. You have no control over it. (who you love, the destruction of the

levee.) It changes a person’s personality, point of view, mindset…when

anything breaks you must revert from intended state to broken state.

When you’re brokenhearted, you have to pick up the pieces…just like when the levee breaks.

There are many different forms of destruction: a dam can spring a leak, power can fail, there might be a problem with the water source itself…when it love there are many different types of love which can result in different types of heartbreak.

Unexpected: difficult to plan for heartbreak and difficult to prepare for the future.

Overwhelming. Both destruction and heartbreak can be stressful.
