Analogies are very powerful tools. Why should we use them?

Analogies will help you make connections between things by making a connection between something you do know about, and something you might not know much about.. This helps you understand the new information. Analogies can be used to demonstrate that you understand some of the most famous events of the American Revolution and will assist you to remember them. There are some great examples of analogies[| here].
