What is an inanimate object?
An inanimate object is an unfeeling, lifeless thing that humans and animals use as a tool to make their everyday lives that much easier. It is often something that is taken for granted; it is something that people never really think twice about. Take for example a pencil. It is a thin, wooden rod encompassing a small cylindrical led stick. It may not seem like so much; however, this simple little tool endures everyday use, including mindless tasks such as creating doodles from a childs thoughts, or recording complicated notes from a college math class. These important tasks of the pencil are taken for granted, while the correct thing to do would be to stop and think What are we without this writing implement? What is the world without a pencil? Jill Reynolds, an unknown author, has taken the time to reflect on the importance of a pencil.
