In Class Writing

The object I brought to class is a mechanical pencil. It is long, slim, and approximately six inches in length. The pencil is made up of many individual parts brought together to make a usable writing utensil. Plastic is the main component of the pencil. It has grooves that allow the user to grip and properly hold the pencil. The difference between this pencil and any wooden pencil is the way the pencil sounds when in use. A wooden pencil must be sharpened periodically in order to stop it from running out of graphite. When a wooden pencil is newly sharpened the words written from it are crisp and gives off a smooth sound that is easy on the ears. Once the pencil becomes dull, there is no longer a soothing sound but a screechy noise. This problem never occurs with my mechanical pencil. The sound and strokes are always smooth. This mechanical pencil is like always having the perfect piece of toast.
