I did some research on colorblindness..I watched two videos featuring two people who are color blind..It was an interesting subject to learn about..If a parent did not know if a child was color blind, they might think that something was bad wrong with their child..One video showed some things like a person who is color blind would see them and from my point of view they would be missing so much..
Night is coming Even though it already looks and feels of night It isn't here yet Gray veil covers the sky Rain plays its sad tune But pink flowers contrast green on Japanese Magnolia Night is coming Color blind person would not be able to see The green leaves that are in contrast to the pink Nor could they see the contrast between the white and green on the Bradford Pear Night is coming Rain increases it rhythm, the grayness in the forest deepens A heaviness weighs upon my body making it uncomfortable to breath The rain washes the pollen away for right now Night is coming Colorblindness would be a disadvantage for a person in many ways Some of the beauty of spring would be lost But they would probably notice shape and design more than someone who sees color Night is coming When the darkness covers over me then I won't be able to see how to write This would be a great disadvantage in accomplishing finishing this work The yellow green or banana yellow yard light has come on it light radiates outward In the distance a very large tree reaches upward skeletal but has few spring green tiny leaves that contrast the gray sky. If I were color blind I would not see that.
