Chapter 8: Relating and Organizing
- Analogical relationships compare one thing to another. For example, "Life is like a box of chocolates." In a short essay, develop an analogy that compares the process of writing to something. Try to capture what you find rewarding and/or frustrating about writing, and develop your analogy as fully as possible.
- Advertising often depends on implicit causal relationships. That is, advertisers' implicit message is usually something like, "If you buy this product, then you will become…." Write a short essay in which you analyze a particular advertisement for the ways in which cause-and-effect relationships are implied (and/or explicitly stated). Are cause-and-effect relationships in advertising reasonable or realistic? Are they supported by your personal experience?
