Can someone please help me with this question?

Write one analogy about "taking an online course" that would be a valid comparison and help someone understand your experience.

Write another analogy that would be an invalid comparison (the comparison would be a "stretch," meaning that the comparison is not at all close enough to be helpful to the other persons understanding).

Write the analogies using the sentence starter below:

Taking an online course is like....

Thanks so much for the help ;-)

One analogy might be that taking an online course is like the old correspondence courses. Taking an online class is like walking alone into a nearly dark room and trying to find small objects.

What do you think an invalid analogy might be?

I know it would be something that's not comparable....such as possibly....

Taking an online course is like taking a bath?

I don't know....these are so confusing to me??????

Help ;-)

Taking a bath is as good as any invalid analogy. A bath gets you clean and relaxes you.

Taking an online course is like ordering food delivery. Just as you can choose from a menu of options and have your meal conveniently brought to your doorstep, taking an online course allows you to select from a variety of courses and have the learning materials delivered directly to your computer or mobile device. Both experiences offer convenience and the ability to enjoy what you want from the comfort of your own home.

Taking an online course is like walking on the moon. This analogy would be an invalid comparison because walking on the moon is a completely different experience that involves extreme conditions, zero gravity, and the use of specialized equipment. It is not at all similar to the experience of taking an online course, which primarily involves accessing digital learning materials and participating in virtual discussions. Comparing the two would be a stretch and not helpful in understanding the experience of an online course.
