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 trying to explain the color red to a blind man I would first ask how severe his blindness is. Then I would tell him to imagine himself in place of a hot, steemy, room - he is sweating - he then touches the electric stove, which is on, and burns himself. He would be hot and sweaty and his emotion would be angry, that is the color red. If he imagines himself on a winter day inside the house with the heater on drinking a cup of warm coffee, the warm feeling is red. The smell and taste of fresh strawberries, cherries, and berries are red. When he has ever been embarassed and he can feel his cheeks blush, the feeling is red.
