Help Wanted

The homework for my writing class this week is posted below. I'll be accepting any and all thoughts or ideas until next Wednesday.

"How would you explain the color green to a blind person?"

Thank you for posting on your blog. I enjoy keeping up with you and share thoughts with friends from your blog.
We hope the H.S. will open the eyes for the gospel. He is faithful!
Now for the color green. I am following the newest research for education and color is discussed in some of the seminars. Did you know some people "think" in color? Different emotions mean diferent colors to them, not only that but different digits mean different colors. So maybe you can write from the standpoint of emotions or even taste. I will ask this afternoon at a conference I will be attending. The doctor will be lecturing, and he will have ideas about this from an educational standpoint. (there is a long name for the condition, but I am not the doctor, I don't know it! tee hee)

you might approach the seeing green by beginning with whether the blind person was always blind or had ever seen. We 'see' things through our past experiences. For example if our experience with our grandmother is that she is grumpy and always complaining and hard to get along with then that is how we expect grandmothers to be...but as you know from personal experience your grandmother is nothing like that. just as people come in all varieties...colors come in hues and intensities.

I had a friend who once worked as a psychologist for as school for the deaf and blind. She said the blind kids felt sorry for the deaf kids because they couldn't hear all the music in the world and the deaf kids felt sorry for the blind kids because they couldn't see all the colors and beauty.

There are "colors and clarity' that we all miss in different areas of our lives. It must be that "dark glass" that we all look through. We're glad you are spreading rainbows where you are.

Love
Aunt B.
