ANALOGIES<br />

Date:<br />

Fire is to New York as Tank Rupture is to Boston.<br />

The sentence above is an analogy. Analogies can also be written like this:<br />

Fire : New York / Tank Rupture : Boston<br />

T rapped<br />

Interpretation<br />

Analogies are based on relationships between word meanings, such as:<br />

• antonyms (opposites) – Burn : Extinguish<br />

• synonyms (alike) – Rescuer : Firefighter<br />

• descriptive – Large : Kursk<br />

• part to whole (or whole to part) – Minutes : Hour<br />

• item to category (or category to item) – Steamer : Ship<br />

Decide how the first pair of words relates to each other. Write the type of analogy first. Then write a word to<br />

complete the analogy.<br />

(a) East Germans : Trapped / West Germans :<br />

(b) Sailor : Crew / <strong>Teacher</strong> :<br />

(c) City : Town / Large :<br />

(d) Midnight : Night / Midday :<br />

(e) Gram : Kilogram / Metre :<br />

WRITE YOUR OWN ANALOGIES<br />

Write your own analogies to describe an event in Trapped. Make sure both pairs of words relate to each<br />

other in the same way.<br />
