What does red remind you of?

To interpret? What is it really, is it the formal definition: Explain the meaning of (information, words, or actions) or is it something else? One's interpretation can never be wrong because that is how they perceive the information, text, actions or images. To interpret is one of the interesting skills that us humans have, and are lucky to have. Without us interpreting everything, people wouldn't get exactly what the artists from the 1800's were trying to express through their paintings and sculptures, and we wouldn't even understand Shakespeare, even though that doesn't sound like much of a loss. Interpreting objects is essential for us to understand each and everything we see and read. When you hear of donating you usually interpret things that are associated with donating such as organizations like the Salvation Army, The American Red Cross, WWF, and etc. Usually these organizations want money 9 times out 10, in some way or form, either by actually donating a certain amount or purchasing a product from them that represents their organization and your funds go to the cause. People sometimes donate and others just brush them off because they're barely making it themselves or are selfish. There are other ways that people can donate that doesn't involve money such as donating your hair,organs, clothes/shoes and blood.  In this image it uses the quote "Money isn't everything" because in society we are known to live by the quote "Money makes the world go 'round".  In Society we hold money as a high attribute in life because it is very useful,essential to high standard living, we can buy materialistic things, and it keeps the economy going. This image argues that money isn't everything because you can "save up to three lives" without having to spend a dime by donating your blood. This image displays a box full of blood instead of money, because usually people ask you to donate money to help people in other parts of the country for their illness, diseases, famine, for natural disasters and etc. By donating blood you can save a life, it's free to donate and someone out there needs your blood, of course there are some requirements you have to meet before donating your blood but it's for a good cause. Some people could help by actually donate their money, but for people that aren't that fortunate there are plenty of free ways to donate.
