3). Pick one concept or idea from the assigned reading, that we have not already discussed, that you found useful or interesting, and discuss it.
Analogies is defined as a comparison between two things in order to highlight the similarities and in hopes draw the same conclusion.
For example: If Linda was going to buy a $20,000 used car. She should just buy a brand new car for $20,000 with no mileage.
Analyse: This is an argument where someone is trying to persuade Linda in buying a new car rather than a used car. The person states that since Linda was planning to spend $20,000 on a used car with mileage and there are uncertainty of how long the car might last before it breaks down. Linda should just purchase brand new car for $20,000 where there wasn't a previous owner. This is a good argument yet, it needs more details and explanation to fully agree with the person that's stating that Linda should buy a new car. For instance, we need to know what car Linda was planning to buy used and actually how many miles there were. Linda's dream car might be a BMW. Yet, the $20,000 can't get her the latest model. However, she loves those cars so she settles for a used one. From my personal knowledge you could purchase BMW '04 to '06 model with relatively low mileage for $20,000 and they are well taken care of by their previous owners. So in order for us to fully justified if Linda should spend her $20,000 on a new car or an old car we need more detail.
Thank you! :]
