Dristay Torres-Description

There are pencils at Walamrt. I pick the classic world-used pencil. It is thin and curvy with its rugged edges flowing perfectly to the next. I look over the piece of wood, quietly searching its long and thin orange body for impurities-none. I pretend to write something, making tiny brush-like strokes in the air. I can feel the pencil's smooth texture, while at the same time feeling its robustness. Then, I carefully touch its grey tip. It's sharp as a knife.
This particular pencil is a classic, however there are many other various types of pencils. This pencil is a piece of wood. It is cylindrical with a center of a solid pigment core-it is what makes pencils dangerously sharp. Then there is a hard silver metal piece on the end of the pencil. It connects the pencil to a short pink cylindrical eraser. The eraser leaves little dust-like particles after you erase something on a piece of paper. If you don't know how to use a pencil, you hold it with the point facing down and maintain a relaxed yet firm grip.

When you write with the pencil, you need to enable your fingers to guide the narrow pencil across a piece of paper from left to write without writing messy. As you begin to write you hold the pencil from a low point with your fingers near the point witht the pigment piercing out. It does not take much experience to do this, as it is almost innate to know how to write as long as you start to use a pencil young.
