Object of my homework or something along those lines

What exactly are we supposed to talk about here? I originally was going to bring a lighter to class as that is an interesting object in many ways. However, I never put it in my bag as the forgetfulness continues. So that leaves me with my second choice: a fine pair of black handled scissors. These things have been utilized for some time and have such a simple design to them they almost scream out their usability. Immediately it is understood what action takes place even if it cuts something other paper.
