ANALOGY VS METAPHOR:
**what is ANALOGY???
it is a cognitive process of transferring information from a particular subject (the analogue or source) to another particular subject (the target), and a linguistic expression corresponding to such a process
**what is METAPHOR???
A metaphor is an analogy between two objects or ideas; the analogy is conveyed by the use of a metaphorical word in place of some other word. For example: "Her eyes were glistening jewels".
**What is the DIFFERENCES between Analogy and Metaphor???
"A metaphor is more forceful (active) than an analogy, because metaphor asserts two things are the same, whereas anology implies a difference; or other rhethorical comparative figures of speech, such as metonymy, parable, simile, and synecdoche, are species of metaphor distinguished by how the comparison is communicated."
this is an example of a metarphor:
the smoking effects everyone around negetavily just like the factories...it effects people's lives
