Week 8 Discussion 3

The one concept from Chapter 8, that has not already been discussed, I found useful was the discussion of analogy. The definition of an analogy is “a type of comparison that describes something by comparing it to something else that is resembles”. It can be useful for me because it will help my audience to understand something that is new. There are many types of analogies such as figurative and literal. Something else I found useful was metaphors. It can be useful towards the audience during a speech because the figure of speech can create feelings and connection. Hopefully I can use these concepts for my next speech to capture my audience’s attention from beginning to end!
