| | Do you like the color red?
Think hard. Harder.
Do you like a color that is known nationally now as being gang-affiliated? Do you like a color that when enough pain is put onto someone that they bleed it? How about when you are late for school, work, or any other event, and a redlight commands you to roll to a stop? And also holds you there for as long as it pleases? Does this sound like a nice color to you?
There's rumor that red vehicles get pulled over more than any other. Is it because it is almost considered in the wrong since the color obviously from the above renders us from many things from clothing to driving? Does that make you want your vehicle to be red? Even if that is by chance your favorite color?
Do you still like the color red? How about if you win second place and you recieve that red ribbon? Almost as if you aren't good enough so here's a red material. How about when you are wearing a white shirt and a drop of ketchup gets on you? Does that red make you look better? Say you are a comedian, I doubt you want to walk off that stage with red clumps all over you from the tomatoes. Id say red isnt very good.
Still not convinced? A cult a few years back had a mass suicide meeting. The color of the punch was red. The KKK's colors were white, and red. Nazis wore red, the USSR's flag was red, and even during the American Revolution, the "redcoats" were against us. How is red a good color?
And for my finale on this, what about a color that is usually used on term papers? Would you feel better or worse about that huge F if it was in, say, purple? If purple doesn't work for you, pick one. It doesn't matter what it is, if your grade is in red, it is most likely going to dig a little deeper into your emotions than your chosen color. Although the color changes, the grade is still the same in the books.
The reason I ask all of this is because my English Comp. teacher made the comment that she isn't going to use the "ugly red" but instead the "ugly green, purple, or even orange." It never really hit me how much the color affects the meaning of what is set before your eyes.
And thanks to her (and the above), I do not like the color red. |
