Living things vs. non-living things

Living things are made out of one or more than one cells. Also, they should have something cover their body. The cover can't be too hard or then it's non living. For example, we have skins, and plants have some sort of skins too. These skins are not hard so we count as living. For cars and planes, their cover are way way too hard which they are non-living.

Living things can usually learn from experiences. For plants, they evolve for what they need. Animals stay away from their enemies. Non-living things like desks, they can't evolve or stay away from something by themselves, they are non-living things.

Also, non-living things don't have "real" emotions. Maybe those dolls or robots can have emotions but they are all fake. They are from programs and stuff, they follow a pattern. For example, when they see you are sad, they'll be sad (for a very very good robot) too. If it's living, like your friend or something, they might not be sad for you but they will tell you how to do it next time. Those are the differences between living and non-living things.
