Analogy
An expository technique in which a comparison is made between unlike things
An analogy is a comparison between two objects or ideas that are different from each other but have similarities in some aspects. Analogies are used to explain a complex idea by breaking it down into simpler terms or to make a comparison that helps the listener or reader understand the concept better. Analogies are often used in literature, science, and everyday communication to clarify or illustrate a point. They can also be used to create humor, or to make a persuasive argument by using a comparison that people can relate to. For example, “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get” (Forrest Gump).
