Tina is a `turtle`. But what's a `turtle`? It's what's called an `object`. This means that a programmer has written some code that we can use to do cool things. In Tina's case, she knows how to go `forward`, `backward`, `left`, and `right` because the people who wrote the `turtle` object thought those would be neat things for turtles to do. At the beginning of all of our examples, we `import turtle`. This lets us use code that's already been written and gives Tina and any other turtles we make their abilities. <iframe src="//player.vimeo.com/video/107875794?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0" width="710" height="249" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe> You can give Tina a different name, and that newly named turtle will know how to do everything Tina does. Give Tina any name you choose in this example: ```python.run import turtle tina = turtle.Turtle() tina.shape('turtle') tina.forward(100) ``` Hint: You'll have to change **all** of the names from Tina to the name you choose. Otherwise, Python will be confused which one you're talking about.
