3. IF you feel comfortable bringing in your laptops, tomorrow is a good day to do so.  We’ll be working on Analogies!
Analogy:
A comparison of similar objects.  An analogy suggests that since the objects are alike in some ways, they will probably be alike in other ways.
Pets are like plants.  If you give them lots of care and attention, they grow strong and healthy.  If you neglect them, they become weak and sickly.
