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!
Red is like the berating of a mother to her young child for breaking the rules. It is the hit side walk and the hot sand on a summer day, the warm caressing touch of the sun on your skin. Red is the feel of blood when you cut yourself, it is the sirens of the ambulance and the cop car at night. It is the apple you bitten and the cherries, and strawberries you will eat. It is your first love and the way she made you feel. It is the rose you will give your special someone on Valentine’s Day and the way your heart thumps when you’re next to her and she touches you. It is her sweet embrace and her soft kisses the way your body feels against hers. It is the taste of warm red wine on a cool spring day as you sit on the grass and feel the cold wind. The sound of rock and roll in the air, while the smell of cigarettes seduces you and invites you gives in. red is the fire place giving out its radiance to make you feel warm and safe, with a dangerous and exciting adrenaline rush right next to it. It is the fireworks you hear on the Fourth of July while you hear little kids ah in amazement. It is the hot coffee scolding your mouth and the hot tea helping you breath. It is the color of an adulterer and the sound of the dead kid doodles. It is the first thing you think about on Christmas and it is the last thing you think about on Easter. It is the danger you sense when you’re in a forbidden place and evil is calling out to you. It is the last thing you hear as death call for you. It is the passion you have, and the fire that will never die inside of you. It is everything and it is everywhere and it is one thing you will never forget but never miss.
