Think of a time when you felt so much anger that you could not even comprehend what your actions were. Think of a time when you felt so much passion that everything around you seemed to stop, and the only thing that mattered was your source of passion. Now try to feel those moments again, and then think about you reaction to those moments. Think about how that specific surge of emotion made you feel, as opposed to the actual emotion you felt. How did the experience of that emotion feel in your body and soul? Was there a physical change to your body? Was there a change of mind during that moment? Throughout the process of those emotions, your body felt heated, or warm. Your body felt as it feels on a cold winter night, engulfing the heat of the crackling fire that slowly spreads through your body. The warmth you feel as you slowly drink a freshly brewed cup of coffee. The intensity of emotion you feel as anger quickly spreads through your body, as fast as the waves of the ocean reach the shoreline. And as quickly as the waves recede, your anger does as well. That feeling of heat and warmth is red. The color red. The color of anger. The color of passion. The color of the delicious fruit you once remember tasting for the first time. The delectable strawberries and the juicy pomegranates and the tangy cherries. All these delicious fruits, distinct in flavor, but alike in color. The very smell of the color red makes your mouth water. Red, the most appetizing color when it comes to food. When it comes to emotion, red can be both marvelous and unpleasant Red, the plentiful color. No matter what, red is constantly serving as a reminder of the emotion we once felt and the food we once ate. Red is the universal color. Red is the color with so much to give, and at the same time, is the color that can take away so much.

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!
