What is an example of an analogy?
An analogy is an extended metaphor. It is used to add clarity and detail to your writing. An example of an analogy would be the following: “The stray dog was a lot like my ex-husband; it showed up whenever it wanted to, it didn’t look like it had bathed in weeks, and it would disappear every time I got used to it being around. On top of that, it was always hungry, and expected me to spring for lunch.
