  5. Main Idea Continued • Furniture is a general term; it includes within it many different items. If I ask you to form an image of furniture, it won't be easy to do.

Furniture is a concrete term (it refers to something we can see and feel), but its meaning is still hard to pin down, because the group is so large. • We can make the group smaller with the less general term, chair. • And even more and more specific to: a lime green velvet La-Z-Boy rocker recliner . Note how easy it is to visualize this chair, and how much attitude we can form about it.
