Reading: Analogies!

Remember, back in the Fall, we learned about Analogies.  Analogies are statements that show a relationship between two words.  Analogies can be written several different ways. For example,

tiny is to enormous as quick is to ______
tiny: enormous :: quick: ______

We can also use bridge maps to write out our analogies.

   Tiny     ^ quick
enormous      ?
