direct object
A direct object is a noun or pronoun that receives the action of a transitive verb in an active sentence. It answers the questions what? or whom? about the transitive verb. A simple direct object is only the noun or pronoun, whereas a complex direct object consists of that noun and pronoun and any modifiers that accompany it.
Examples:
Terry burnt the toast.
What did terry burn? - He burnt the toast.
Serena visited Kara.
Whom did Serena visit? - She visited Kara.

The triangular shaped object that Joe wants to experience directly. You'll have to distract Joe, somehow.
