What I Need to Know
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 dissimilar 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;

What’s In
Before we will 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
of the two words is an analogy. Number 1 is done for you.

What’s New
The game you 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 front liners 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.
12
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 CoVID-19
since no vaccine is developed yet to heal the disease.
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.
13
2. The pandemic healed nature in the same way that a mother soothes our pains.
This time, let’s make use of the lines from the poem entitled “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.
