Analogical Thinking Pt 1.
Exercise 1: Think of any object that can connect a playful idea of simile, metaphor or analogy.
Simile:
Metaphor:
Exercise 2: Identify 3 products that use analogical thinking. eg. those inspired by nature or other life forms.

1. Coat hook inspired by the skyline
2. Esplanade inspired by the durian
3. Tables inspired by the roots of trees
From this exercises, I had a better understanding of a simile and a metaphor and I am now able to differentiate the difference between them. I have learnt that all of these products are invented through thinking analogically. I would have never thought that even a skyline could be a coat hanger and roots to be made into tables. I hope that in the next lesson, I would have a better grasp of understanding the concept of analogical thinking,
