I'm having a hard time understanding the tools. I'm trying to do an assignment for class and I need to give an illustrated definition of a handle along with a short typed definition. Does anyone know how to define a handle?

If you are referring to what Illustrator's Help (as of version CS6) calls a direction line, and which is more generically called a curve handle among programs like it:

Google for Cubic Bezier Curve and read about the control points that are between the first and last point of the curve. (The points that are not actually on the plotted curve).
