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 />
