    A Brief Description of the Feeling of Wonder

    If you ask people what wonder is, you will stump them. They will not know how to explain what exactly they feel when they feel wonder. Wonder is one of those emotions that is hard to explain. You know it when you feel it but you cannot explain it. In the ACP 11O-02 course at Roosevelt University, the students were asked what they believed wonder was.

This question is not one that is asked every day, so people do not normally have an answer ready for it.
