  1. Types of Figures of Speech-1 • Analogy is a comparison between two objects or concepts in order to show ways in which they are similar. In effect, analogies say “A s to B as C is to D.” The resemblance between these concepts is partial but close enough to provide a striking way of illuminating the relationship the writer wished to establish. • Pollution affects the environment the way cancer affects the body.

It is rarely appropriate in formal writing. • He murdered me on the tennis court. • Simile is a direct comparison of two essentially unlike things, linking them with the word like or as. • Like a small birdcage, her hat rested precariously on her head, and I expected to see the feathers take flight at any moment.
