5 Everyday Objects

1. Money - silver, hard, round, small, and doesn't change. 
     Its original meaning and function is value used to exchange for an object. The value of money has changed over time and is of different value in different countries.

2. A Stuffed Animal - soft, squishy, any colors, many shapes, and many sizes.
     Its meaning and function can be sentimental, entertainment, or for aesthetic purposes. Its meaning changes depending on who has it (a child or adult), where it came from (store or family member), or how much it cost.

3. A ring - round, metal/plastic/wood/etc., small, smooth, and many colors.
     Its meaning and function are cosmetic and aesthetic. This meaning can also change based on sentimental value or cost. But the function rarely changes.

4. Sunglasses - round, hard, transparent, smooth, and metallic.
     Its function is obviously protection from the sun and its meaning is more about defining your style. The meaning can change based on what current styles are in or out.

5. Comb - plastic, hard, many colors, small, and pointy. 
     Its function if to brush your hair. It doesn't really have that much meaning except how important our society finds physical appearance. This meaning can also change with current styles.
