Should Law-Case#47 be a precedent for the current case?@*

Did the Quaker song `Simple Gifts' evolve from the same theme as
Copland's "Appalachian Spring?"@*

Was Brittan's `A Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra' 
derived from Purchel's `Abdelezar'?

Is this current case more like Case X or Case Y.
(in terms of whether defendant should be acquitted or convicted.)

Of all recent composers, whose works are closest to Bach's?

Here the sentences include a word like "like", 
to indicate that this is a comparison.
(Omitting the "like" term leads to similarity metaphors, which are
mentioned in case @Ref<SimMet>.  There the sentence
omits not only the basis of the comparison,
but also the fact that this is, in fact, only a comparison.  We also
leave to later the idiom case, shown in @Ref(Idiom).)

i.e. a lot is forced into the student, under great pressure.

Consider almost any instance of a "that reminds me of" situation
-- where connection may be obscure to everyone
(possibly) excluding the speaker.  In general
the topic of the current conversation and the digression share
some single common feature.
@Comment{On hearing that B, B and N went to BBN -- they found it convenient
that the (existant) company already had the right name,
I remembered the famous case of the Shell sort:
"Shell" does not refer to some nuance of the operation,
it is, instead, the name of the fellow who first suggested this approach.}

In this degenerate case of analogy,

John ate as many sun-flower seeds on June 24 as Polly parrot ate that day.

The nucleus is in the center of an atom, just as the sun is at the center of
the solar system.
