Analogies
So, I was working with Montgomery today on some "review". We were talking about what an analogy is. Q: Paris is to France as London is to ?...she gives me a blank stare...ok ok, geography lesson....we pull up Google earth and resolve that. (Should she know that basic geography, yes of course, but mom I can always Google it...grrrrr we'll work on that.) Q: ? is to table as blanket is to bed...she said "leg"? I said uuuhhh, no, a blanket covers a bed or goes on it. She says, plate? I said ok, that's true, I would probably say table cloth. She gives me a confused look. Why would she know that...we don't use table cloths. Next question...Engine is to car as hard drive is to...she says, without hesitation, computer. Oooo she gets analogies, I just have to speak her language, hello technology age.
