Question

what are analogies?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

a comparison between one thing and another, typically for the purpose of explanation or clarification.

Answer 2

Analogy is a cognitive process of transferring information or meaning from a particular subject to another, or a linguistic expression corresponding to such a process.

For example, “Life is a box of chocolates.” An analogy is saying something is like something else to make some sort of explanatory point. For example, “Life is like a box of chocolates—you never know what you're gonna get.” You can use metaphors and similes when creating an analogy. A simile is a type of metaphor.
