Chapter 7 & 8 Concept

A concept I found useful and interesting was the "Definition by Analogy," section. To explain, as stated in the book, "Speakers often use analogies to help an audience understand something new to them." I like analogies for the simple fact that you can use them in order to get a friend or audience to better understand what you are trying to say. I think this is important because the audience may be totally confused about what the speaker is talking about. If the speaker were to put it in terms that the audience understands, then they will most likely get what the speaker is talking about; hence, being able to get their point more across.
