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!

I can never give you the exact description of any color you havent ever seen. The reason is because perception is a way of knowing things. And without your sight it makes it nearly impossible for me to explain an exact description of the color red. But i can still use the other ways of knowing to try to help you estimate how red actually looks like. Let me try to explain to you through your emotions. Red is a color that can usually represesnt heat. Have you ever become so agrivated and feel the heat from your cheeks? When this happens most people's face turn red. If that doesn't help have you let me explain to you through reason. Have you ever touched a hot stove and burned yourself. That quick intense pain could help you put together how Red looks like. I know you probebly feel lost right now but apealing to the other ways of knowing is the best way i could help you understand how red looks like.
