ENGLISH LITERATURE (CBSE/UGC NET)

Detailed explanation-1: -An analogy is a comparison between two objects, or systems of objects, that highlights respects in which they are thought to be similar. Analogical reasoning is any type of thinking that relies upon an analogy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Similes compare the similarities between two unlike things using the words “like” or “as.” For example, “Life is like a mountain.” A metaphor is a literary device used to say something is something else.

Detailed explanation-3: -A simile is a figure of speech that compares two otherwise dissimilar things, often introduced by the words like or as (’you are like a summer’s day’). A metaphor is when a word is used in place of another to suggest a likeness (’you are a summer’s day’).

Detailed explanation-4: -“She’s as blind as a bat.” “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.” Comparing two objects or ideas is common practice in the English language, as useful in writing and literature as in everyday figures of speech.

Detailed explanation-5: -Metaphor: Joe is a pig. Simile: Joe is as dirty as a pig. Analogy: Joe’s sense of personal hygiene is on the same level as a pig that rolls around in dirt and mud all day.
