A Little Bit of Color
Wow! I absolutely love color!! I was intending to write this blog at an earlier time, when the leaves were more vibrant, but another train of thought over took this one...
I think color is an amazing thing and such a blessing. I love to observe lovely colors that go so well together. Rooms seem to become warmer when painted with deep reds and light brown or appear to smile at themselves when painted yellow with flowers. Color is one of the reasons why I love spring and fall so much. I love the flowers and their bright, cheery yellow, pinks, reds, and purples. The whole world seems to be celebrating new birth and life. How does it show it? Through color! I believe that things in nature really bring out the true amazing colors. To see an ocean, sparkling blue, a new flower, blooming to the warmth of the sun, with small drops of water covering it’s small and delicate petals, or a bright sunrise, welcoming in a new day. Nature seems to express it’s joys and sorrows through color. It teaches us all about how things go naturally together. Have you ever seen a tree that seems to clash with its leaves? It shows us that our lives are completely surrounded by color, and that it is a great thing!
When a movie is portraying something as dark, sad, or discouraging, it is often shown in black and white, showing that things aren’t good, but then if the situation becomes better, it often goes back into color. Color can completely change the mood of people and situations. If a person is sick, don’t you always hear that people will paint their room a bright color? But on the other hand, if you walk into a dark room, you’re more likely to be unhappy and often an unexplained glumness will seem to settle. Doesn’t it amaze you that such a simple thing can so greatly affect everyone?
In The Giver, you discover that they have taken away color to try and make the world more equal. I think that in doing this, they greatly threw many things out of balance. Different colors don’t make things worse or make people feel bad; greatly on the contrary, they make them feel better! The world is a more wonderful place because of color and the great influence it has on people.

We've even started to use color as a metaphorical verb, e.g., "That happy experience with my cousins has colored all my interations with them; even in the worst of times, we still smile often when we are together."
Good blogs!
