In literature, red is often associated with blood and violence. Four researchers, Erella Hovers, Shimon Ilani, Ofer Bar-Yosef, and Bernard Vandermeersch, studied colored symbolism and concluded; “Color symbolism is one of the symbolic frameworks used extensively by contemporary societies to convey information and abstract messages through material objects” (Hovers et al.,2003.) Through the use of colors, May vividly expresses the emotions of the speaker towards society, regarding the topics of warfare and education. He specifically selects certain colors, like black and red, to stir up emotions within Jontae. The colors create a symbolic image, ultimately leading up to represent the violent scenes taking place. May writes his fear; “I know how often red is the only color left to reach” (18-19), to show his apprehension for Jontae a young male in society surrounded by warfare. Red in literature often represents blood, sacrifice, and violence. Using colors throughout the poem, creates a more vehement atmosphere, in which Jontae is left to choose between warfare, and discovering his identity in an alternative

Color plays a unique role in the world we live in today. Color can sway the way someone thinks, change a person’s actions, and cause someone to react a certain way.

One way used many times throughout the book is using black to reinforce a grim tone onto the reader. An example of this is in Book One on page 93. The image shown is of lunch counter protesters during a sit-in with a “counter closed” sign. The photo uses mostly black to develop a dark and unsettling tone. On the page before it is shown how the servers did not want to serve SNCC members. The negativity and hatefulness of the servers is reinforced with the dark tones used to create the image on page 93. Another instance the illustrator uses black is in Book Two on pages 102 through 108. The Freedom Riders were arrested and they were transferred to the Mississippi State Penitentiary, also known as Parchman Farm. This point in the Freedom Riders’ journey was one of the low points for the Riders. They were dehumanized and treated terribly in the jail, this shown in the way the panels are illustrated. As soon as the Riders entered the jail cells, the white borders started to transition into black borders. This transitions the tone the reader feels while reading.

In Night and Fog it was an appropriate design the way the switched from color to black and white. I got two different meanings from this. 1) We live today in our present environment in a world filled with color. We don't go through hunger, torture and our dignities aren't taken from us. The black and white represents to me other people around the world which still today are going through similar times as these victims in this film went through. 2) The theme in on which the comparison is about the past and the present was very clear. The same pathways which were filled with the blood of the victims were now all buried under the ground. The color represented the present and the black and white represented the past.

The narrator has only a slight interest in being red, but she really wants to be blue, just like everyone else. Munro writes, “When I was asked a question in class, any simple little question at all…that I had blood on my skirt”.(2) The narrator is just so nervous about being red she is thinking of bad things that can happen with the color red. She is thinking of all the bad times the color red could do a girl badly, just like a girls period could leak at any moment. In “A Red Dress 1946”, a short story by Alice Munro, she uses Color Imagery to show the significance of the narrator’s view of the color red and all the “Evil” about it.

Two time management procedures that I have developed are creating a daily plan and prioritizing tasks. Creating a daily plan allows me to assign priority to tasks. This practice ensures that important tasks are completed on time.
