E. Lesson
Proper

1. Activity In your previous lesson during the

first quarter, you learned that analogy
is a literary tool used in comparing
two different things to highlight some
point of similarity.

This time, let us first differentiate

simile, metaphor, and analogy
through this preliminary activity.

Task 1: Read, examine, and classify

each sentence below as SIMILE,
METAPHOR, or ANALOGY.
 ____1. He is as thin as a stick.
____2. “Life is like a bag of
candies-you never know Answers:

get.” 1. SIMILE

them to.

statements below are true about an 1. GO

correct and NO if it says otherwise. 3. GO

___2. An analogy is just another
term for a simile.
___3. An analogy can be used to
explain a point.
___4. Some analogies compare
relationships.
___5. An analogy can be used to
describe unfamiliar
concepts.

Great!
The knowledge that you gained from
that activity class will give you, ideas
about our topic.
2. Analysis Again, from that activity how can you
now differentiate Analogy from simile
and metaphor? Ma’am, a simile is when you
compare two unlike things using
“like or as.”
And, a metaphor is when you
compare two, unlike things without
using like or as. While;

analogy aids in clarifying and
explaining complicated ideas. In
addition, through analogy, the reader
or listener is able to visualize and
able to clearly understand the
concepts being presented.

3. Abstract Since we are done with our first

activity, let us now dive deeper and
explore more about the analogy.

What Is the Difference Between

Analogy, Simile, and Metaphor?

While analogies, similes, and

metaphors are closely related
because they are all used to
compare different things, here are
some tips to help you distinguish
between these three figures of
speech:

 A simile is when you

compare two unlike things
using [like or as.]
For example, “Life is like a
box of chocolates.”
 A metaphor is when you
compare two, unlike things
without using like or as.
For example, “Life is a box of
chocolates.”
 An analogy is when you
compare two things, typically
for the purpose of explanation
or clarification.
For example, “Life is like a
box of chocolates—you never
know what you are going to
get.”
 You can use metaphors and
similes when creating an
analogy.
 A simile is a type of
metaphor. All similes are
metaphors, but not all
metaphors are similes.
An analogy is a literary technique
WHAT IS AN ANALOGY? that involves a comparison of how
Will you please read the meaning of two things are alike, but with the

about this comparison.

There are also literary techniques or

devices that show and provide a
more detailed comparison of things
and ideas. One example of this
technique is the use of analogy.

WHAT IS THE MAIN FUNCTION

OF ANALOGY?

not just to show but also to explain
and justify. Meanwhile,
FIGURE OF SPEECH like
metaphor and simile only aims to
show comparison without providing
clear descriptions or explanations
as a such analogy is more complex
in nature than figures of speech

SIMILE- in the sentence, the words

life and tree are compared, and the
word like shows this comparison.

METAPHOR- in this example the

words life and tree are also
compared. But there is no word that
shows this comparison. And;

ANALOGY- In this sentence, the

words life and tree are also
compared and it also used the word
like to show this comparison.
However, the analogy provides an
explanation of why life is just like a
tree as it also starts from a seedling
that grows in a full-grown tree.

[HANDOUTS]
Examples of Analogy
The following is a list of some
common analogies and the
corresponding explanation of their
meaning.

● Life is a race.
The one who keeps running wins
the race, and the one who stops
loses.

● He is like a rock.
 This means he is steadfast and
strong.

F. This time, May I know if you have

Generalization learned something from our
discussion today?
Ma’am, we discussed analogy
which means a literary technique
that involves a comparison of how
two things are alike, but with the
ultimate goal of making a point
about this comparison.
Okay. Very Good!
Who else can share something that
you have learned from analogy?

What is the main function of an

analogy?
Perfect.
So, what is the difference between
an analogy from a figure of speech
simile and a metaphor?
Bravo. That is correct.
The main function of ANALOGY is
not just to show but also to explain
and justify.
The figure of speech like metaphor
and simile only aims to show
comparison without providing clear
descriptions or explanations, while
analogy provides a more detailed
comparison of things and ideas.

G. Values So, does this lesson help you as a

Integration person, and as a student?
Yes, Ma’am.
In what way?
For example, when you are writing
or speaking, using analogy will help
you to what?
It can be helpful to us to explain an
unfamiliar concept or idea. Using
an analogy to link this idea to
something that is familiar can help
the reader or listener better
understand or comprehend what
we are or the speaker trying to say.
Perfect!

The purpose of an analogy is not

merely to show, but also to explain.
For this reason, an analogy is more
 complex than a simile or a
metaphor, which aims only to show
without explaining.

“You have to be as busy as a bee to

get good grades in high school.”
“Finding that lost dog will be like
finding a needle in a haystack.” 

I believe you have comprehended

already our lesson today. I am pretty
sure that you are now ready for our
evaluation part.
