Touch Workshop

Upon feeling this mystery object I was immediately able to identify what it was made of.  It was hard plastic which I, for some odd reason, can identify very easily.  Next, i moved from the top of the object where my hand was placed to the bottom of it where I had not yet explored.  I noticed that there was a break in the figure.  As i moved my hand along the object I was able to tell that it was a plastic figurine that was some kind of animal.  After getting from one end to the other i was able to identify it was a Rino.  After feeling to bottom a bit more I believe that it was standing on a plastic holder that was decorated with grass as in a Savannah.

What it means to touch

Touch can mean so many things when it comes to it’s definition and its many implied meanings.  To get a good idea of what touch can mean i simply went to Google and typed in “what is touch”.  I went to some of the sites that looked less like a dictionary definition.   In my search I found this:  “Touch is essential to chiropractic. Touch is what we do best. Touch is the way we complete the connection between the chiropractor’s innate and the patient’s innate.” (Rollis para. 1).  I really like this next definition because it showcases how many meanings there are to touch.  “The term touch is often abstracted to express feelings of certain emotions. A particularly happy or sad event is often said to ‘touch’ those who experience it. Other emotions, such as relief, fear, anger, and surprise, cause no such response.” (Creative Commons Attributions para. 3).
