Wendell Berry = “Connection is health. And what our society does its best to disguise from us is how ordinary, how commonly attainable, health is. We lose our health - and create profitable diseases and dependences - by failing to see the direct connections between living and eating, eating and working, working and loving. In gardening, for instance, one works with the body to feed the body. The work, if it is knowledgeable, makes for excellent food. And it makes one hungry. The work thus makes eating both nourishing and joyful, not consumptive, and keeps the eater from getting fat and weak. This is health, wholeness, a source of delight.

Brain Anatomy & Physiology - Building Background Knowledge PreLab Do Now! Slide over to the electrons on this week's home learning and read at least 5 Extensions - that is where you will find the analogies. Be ready to talk about analogies - check out the bit of writing just below. One of the least used and least understood power tools for writers is the analogy. Here’s the dictionary definition: a comparison between one thing and another, typically for the purpose of explanation or clarification. Or, more informally: When talking about Thing X, you also mention (seemingly unconnected) Thing Y because it has useful similarities. Analogies do twice the work in half the time. Consider the following two descriptions:
We’re talking about a zebra here, right? Can you see how the second description is much more concise? It reuses everything we already know about horses to describe a zebra. (For the record, a horse is not strictly an analogy for a zebra. However, the process of describing a zebra in relation to a horse is like using an analogy.)
