Journal #1

1. Pretend that you are talking to a blind man and have to describe for him what "red" is. You should use narrative and descriptive writing techniques, and try to appeal to his other senses!

The color red is a very unique color unlike others. For some people it can mean something affectionate or special to them such as a rose or a heart. When they see red maybe that is what comes to  there mind. Somebody who is in love or who loves somebody else can see red and imagine a rose, a heart and romance. For people who are inlove the color red may bring them some romantci thoughts about somebody because red is also the color of a rose and the color of the heart. The color red can symbolize love and romance for people. For others however red can be a very grotesque and gory color maybe because of an awful experience that they may have gone through. An example is that red is the color of fire and blood. Fire obviosuly burn people in contact and scars them, it can even kill peoplem through really severe and awful wounds/ burns. Maybe somebody who has been through that awful experience may hate the color red because they are reminded by that. Red can also symbolize blood for others. Since blood is portrayed with sickness, disease, suffering and death. Blood can be very awful so some people have the reaction of not liking the color red because for some they are reminded of blood. So then if i was talking to the blind man, He can have an image of what red may be. If the man is inlove or has feelings for somebody when they hear red they may be reminded of love and that special somebody they love. But maybe if they had an awful experience either with fire or maybe with blood than for them red can be something brutish and nasty to them. But it will depend on the man and his experiences wether he likes or dislikes the color red based on my descriptions and what he thinks of them.
