JUXTAPOSITION !! (ANALOGY VS METAPHOR)

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
