Question

Create an analogy of your own. Then, write a few sentences to explain the type of comparison you used and how the words relate to one another.

Answer 1

Analogy: A map is to a traveler as a recipe is to a cook.

Explanation: This is a functional (parallel) analogy: both pairs show a tool-and-user relationship where the tool guides actions toward a goal. A map gives a traveler directions and options for getting from place to place; similarly, a recipe gives a cook steps and proportions for producing a dish. In each case the first item (map/recipe) structures choices and helps reach an intended outcome for the second item (traveler/cook).
