2. My Object2 3. In many years us humans have been using these objects or tools to live out our life, we use them a lot of times. You can see them everywhere, your bedroom, toilet, office, class, kitchen and many other places. There are objects that people use almost everyday in their daily lives such as mobile phones, a pillow, a key and a lot more. One of the objects that i always use is a mug, it is mainly used for drinking. How simple can this mug help me in my daily life? i want to explain more about this simple looking object. Let us start off with the shape. It is a cylinder shape with a handle on it. It has a round base unlike the top which is an open big hole for water to pour in. the shape of the handle is more different than the average mugs, it is a shape that is used to handle the mug more comfortably. The outer layer has these ridges, which i personally think it is what makes the mug look unique. Moreover, if you put your hand around it makes it more comfortble when you hold it even while handling it, the inside layer though is straight. The height of the mug is about three in a half inches tall and it's diameter is about eight centimetre in comparisons, the mug is as light as measuring the weight of two empty mineral water bottles. When hitting the base to the surface, vibration comes out through an opening and produces a sound. Under the base of the mug is a brand logo name TUPPERWARE. You can see the content inside the mug whenever you pour any kind of drinking water in it because it is translucent in green color. The texture is smooth because it is made of plastic. Since it is made of plastic, it can handle hot and cold water very well. It will not feel that hot compared to steel-layered mugs when poured hot water. The thickness of the mug is very thin, which affects the overall weight. The lightness of the 3 4. mug has a big impact for me; i was able to relax when holding it. A heavily weighted mug makes me want to hold it carefully. It doesn't produce any kind of scent to smell unless they are leftovers or unwashed liquids around the object such as juices, coffee and others. They are scratches found on the base of the mug; this is due to those sharp things such as a spoon or a fork. Knowing how simple a mug looks like simply makes other people ignore its details of how amazing this object is invented, it has a lot of good characteristics. People don't really look into the things that they are using. These objects are very well made. Most of them are all thanks to the work of those who have created different kinds of ways to make things easier. If a mug was not known in this current time, we might have drank that drinking water with our own hands.4
