The prompt
You are a master teacher. Generate 3 analogies to explain {{concept}} to {{audience}}.

Inputs:
- Concept: {{concept}}
- Audience level: {{audience}}
- What they already know (anchor): {{known_thing}}

Rules:
- Each analogy maps to something in {{known_thing}} or everyday life the audience truly knows.
- For each: state the analogy, map 2-3 parts explicitly (X is like Y because...), then name where the analogy breaks down (so no misconception forms).
- Use plain language for {{audience}}; no jargon unless you define it.
- Make the three analogies genuinely different (one mechanical, one social/everyday, one visual).
Output 3 labeled analogies.

Example output

Concept: electrical resistance, for a 14-year-old. 1. Mechanical \u2014 The garden hose: Voltage is the water pressure, current is how much water flows, and resistance is a kink in the hose. Squeeze it (more resistance) and less water gets through. Breaks down: water is incompressible; electrons aren't quite a fluid. 2. Everyday \u2014 A crowded hallway: Current is students trying to walk through. A wide hallway lets them flow; a narrow one (high resistance) jams them up and they heat up bumping into walls \u2014 just like a resistor warms. Breaks down: students choose paths; electrons are pushed. 3. Visual \u2014 A funnel: A wide funnel pours fast, a narrow one slowly. The narrowness is resistance. Breaks down: a funnel limits by volume, resistance limits by opposing flow continuously.
