ANALOGIES<br />

Boats and planes are to the Bermuda Triangle as spacecraft are to Mars.<br />

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

Boats and planes : Bermuda Triangle / Spacecraft : Mars<br />

M issing<br />

Interpretation<br />

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

• antonyms (opposites) – Missing : Found<br />

• synonyms (alike) – Detective : Investigator<br />

• descriptive – Large Bird: Ivory-billed woodpecker<br />

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

• item to category (or category to item) – Nozomi : Spacecraft<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) Fingerprint : Finger / Thumbprint :<br />

(b) Seek : Hide / Run :<br />

(c) Criminal : Outlaw / Detective :<br />

(d) Bin Laden : / Hoover : Crime fighter<br />

(e) Mysterious : Disappearances / : Bermuda Triangle<br />

WRITE YOUR OWN ANALOGIES<br />

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

other in the same way.<br />
