"Journal Writing" on The Plot against People by Russell Baker

Inanimate objects can also by classified as not having any real use for them, being made poorly, and not doing what it was made to do. They all still have a job to do but whether or not they can help you accomplish that job is the question. The inanimate object has always been used but some can be used for short periods of time and others may seem like they could last a lifetime. The reason may be that we take those objects and repair them not one inanimate object could last a lifetime without being repaired at least once if not many times. This is why we call them inanimate they imitate something that should do the job and not deceive us by not working or breaking down.
