Analogies

Arent analogies amusing? Our history teacher does analogies all the time. Everytime the teacher makes an analogy, the class explodes in roars of laughter. For example, today, our history teacher had said: "How can you not get an essay right? It's fine if this time you forget your footnotes, its just like coming to school without your shoes. But if you didnt write a three part thesis, its like coming to school in just an underwear." Also, he stated why arent the people following their outlines. His analogy for it was that a person A asks a person B to buy things for him at 7-11. So person B jots down a list of things to buy on a paper, and he just throws the list away, and goes to 7-11 and buys nothing person A asked for. It was a funny analogy. Analogies are very important because it makes the point stated more clear, connects to the larger world, and it is what makes peoples' lives more amusing. (see? there is a three part thesis, RIGHT THERE! ok it was a sucky one but you get the point) Also, our MUN teacher, (also our history teahcer) had stated that analogies are important in speeches. I need to endeavor to make up more analogies. Practice makes perfect!
