analogy



ANALOGY is a tool of thinking that uses stories situations or objects to help us visualize a particular experience or concept.

METAPHOR use to describe a subject as exactly the same to the object by drawing the parallel in the properties between the subject and object. (Equate particular subject to with particular concept)

SIMILE is the figure of speech that draws similarity between two different things but otherwise not the same between one another.

PARABLE/ ALLAGORY the symbolic expression of a deeper meaning through a story or scene acted out by human animal or mythical characters. (In a form of a story)

SATIRE/ PARODY the use of wit, especially irony, sarcasm, and ridicule to criticize a particular subject as depicted in literacy works, plays or film.


IRONY – inconsistency between what might be expected to happen and what actually happens especially when this differences seems absurd or laughable.

Example of irony:
A man who is a traffic cop gets his license suspended for unpaid parking tickets.


PARADOX - a statement or a situation that is true but seems to defy logic or intuition.

Example of paradox:
aerodynamically, the bumble Bee shouldn’t be able to fly but the bumble bee doesn’t know it so it goes on flying anyway – Miry Kay Ash
