read as A related to B (Barbacena, et. al., 2010). shopping mall : city (Shopping mall is found in the city.)

between things that Making a Literary Analogy
have similar features
There are two types of literary devices commonly used when drawing
analogies in narrative writing: similes and metaphors. A simile is a
comparison between two things using the word "like" or "as". For example:
ANALOGY  He was as funny as a clown.
 The drums were as loud as thunder.
 Finding the dining room in the mansion was like walking through a

often used to help A metaphor also compares two things, but it does not use the word "like" or
abstract or uncommon by
comparing it to something explain a "as." Instead, it simply describes one thing as another, either by stating a
familiar or common to you. principle or idea direct comparison or using descriptive words. For example:
 Mom's voice was music to his ears.

 The blushing peach shyly hid beneath a leaf.

Similes and metaphors are simple, direct or indirect comparisons, they do not
offer any explanation. An analogy extends the comparison in order to explain
a topic in a way the audience will understand.

Creating Connections

While word analogies aren't often used in writing, the skill of making good
comparisons and connections will help you better organize and explain your
thoughts. You might find it helpful to describe an idea by explaining what it
reminds you of.

For example, a science report could use the analogy that veins are to blood
as roads are to cars, transporting each safely to their destination but
sometimes becoming blocked. Analogies are useful when you're writing
factual reports and essays, while more poetic comparisons like similes and
metaphors are helpful in descriptive poems and stories
