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! 



If i was talking to a blind man and had to described what the color red is, i would explain to him how the color is used in our world. In literature it could represent danger, also passion and emotion. Red in our everyday life is mostly used to warn us about something that can psychically hurt us. The stop sign is a bright red which makes it clear that our car needs to stop or you might crash. If something is hot, usually food, there will be a sign that warns you not to touch it in red letters. When i think of red  i think about all of those things plus how it also represents warmth. I would tell the blind man all of this and possibly read him a book that shows the symbolism of the color red. Maybe even give him something warm to touch and tell him that warmth represents red.
