P A Q

Problem
I have the dictionary definitions; but to me they are all still the same or related :-(
Does anyone have a simple idiots way to distinguish them and remember the specific differences between these?


Solution

1. A symbol is used to represent something else; dark sky, moon and stars = night.
   Keys to represent ownership; Handcuffs meaning 'prisoner'.
2. Metaphor is a literary device which compares two unlike things.eg;
   'He was a lion in the fight'.
3. Analogy is another figure of speech which says that one thing IS another.
   Mary's house was lit up like a Christmas tree in full glow.
   
   To round it off for you.A simile is also a comparison between two unlike thing using 'like.'
   'He swims like a fish'.
