Analogy
An Analogy is a likeness or similarity between things that are otherwise unlike.

* What key is to a lock, password is to a mobile phone.
* What ground is to a penguin, sky is to an eagle.
* What time is to a watch, light is to the sun.
* What moon is to the night, the sun is to the day.
* Lyrics is to a lyricist as music is to a composer.
* What anti-virus software is to a computer, vaccines are to a newborn.
* What angels are to heaven, devils are to hell.
* What pen is to paper, keyboard is to the computer monitor.
* Polar bears are to Arctic areas of the earth, camels are to the deserts of the world.
