A slowpoke is not distinct! :)
The first analogy is abstract. The second analogy is concrete. Shakespeare: plays:: Mark Twain: Novels; screen: computer:: face: watch. Sorry, I'm not sure how to prove the concrete/abstract part but I'm sure that I'm right.
<u>Topic: a family holiday trip </u>

One of the best holidays I spent in my life was in January 2017. It was one of the very few journeys I went on with my dad that I can remember. Dad, my brother and I went to La Serena, Chile.
It was a lovely summer day when we started our journey. We traveled by car and we had rent a beautiful flat in front of the beach. As soon as we arrived we went to a restaurant and had some absolutely delicious food. We arranged our suitcases on the flat and spent the rest of the day on the beach. Being so close to my father after many years of hard feelings, bitterness and endless arguments was something that I really enjoyed and never thought it would be possible.
We spent five amazing days there visiting local fairs, beaches, shops, cafés and just relaxing from an agitated year that we had gone through. Spending quality time with my little brother and my father was what I had longed for many years. These days together had helped us to strengthen our relationship and create a bigger sense of family.
Those holidays represented the starting point of the healing of my relationship with my father and the union of our family after many years of war between my divorced parents.
