Analogy


Analogy(noun)-an inference that if things agree in some respects they probably agree in others, aka reasoning or explaining from parallel cases

Examples: People "going with the flow" is like fish following the current of a river (both have no control over what happens to them)

Obese person stuffing himself reminds one of a pig eating garbage out of a trough, both have no self control and fat bodies in common
