An analogy, by definition, is <span>a comparison between two things, typically on the basis of their structure and for the purpose of explanation or clarification.

There are some websites that can help with them, here is one that explains a basic analogy:
https://www.teachervision.com/vocabulary/reading-comprehension/6697.html

An example of an analogy is:
If TURTLE is to SLOW, then CHEETA is to _____

By background knowledge, we know that Turtles are Slow. So the animal is being compared to its speed. Cheetahs are known to be fast, so the word FAST fits in with the analogy. It's comparing the Cheeta to its speed, as well as being the opposite of the Turtle's speed.

Analogies are not always opposite, but common examples are opposite analogies. A non-opposite example would be:

Triangle is to THREE as Square is to FOUR

This is comparing the sides of the figures. Hopefully this helps.</span>

In at least 150 words, discuss the story of Orestes and Agamemnon. Explain the relevance of their story to that of Telemachus an
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

<h2>See below</h2>

Explanation:

Agamemnon was the leader the Greek Army during the Trojan war. When he returned home, he was murdered by his wife, Clytemnestra along with her lover. Agamemnon's son, Orestes' cannot stop the killing, but vows revenge, even though it means that he will have to kill his own mother. He eventually is able to avenge his father's killing by killing the murderers. Even though he has killed his mother, this action is considered just, so Orestes' doesn't feel any guilt over the situation. There are many similarities between that father/son duo and the Telemachus/Odysseus duo. Odysseus also fought in Greek Army against the Trojans. He has yet to return and it is questionable if he is even still alive. The suitors want to cash in on the opportunity that Odysseus' absence presents. They take over the palace and commit acts that dishonor Odysseus and his wife. Telemachus is asked to avenge the dishonoring of his father by killing the suitors. Athena assists him by telling him this story to encourage him.

Read these lines spoken by Mercutio In Act III, Scene 1 after Tybalt stabs him and answer the question.
navik [9.2K]

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Read these lines spoken by Mercutio in Act III, Scene 1 after Tybalt stabs him and answer the question.

No, ‘tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a church-door; but ‘tis enough, ‘twill serve: ask for me to-morrow, and you shall find me a grave man.

Of what are these lines an example?

A. allusion

B. pun

C. monologue

D. soliloquy

Answer:

These lines are an example of a:

B. pun

Explanation:

A pun is a joke that can use words that sound similar but have different meanings, or words that offer more than one possible meaning. When Mercutio says, "and you shall find me a grave man," he is making a pun out of the meanings of "grave". A grave man is a serious man, at least in most situations. In this case, he refers to grave as in "tomb", because he is about to die after being injured by Tybalt.
