I think it will be granted easily that if a child were kept in a place where he never saw any other but black and white till he were a man, he would have no more ideas of scarlet or green..." (Locke, pg61) Locke is trying to say in this paragraph that when a child is born he is not aware of his surroundings. That he takes in what he hears around him and what he sees. When locke finished his last line. Saying if he never saw any other but black and white till he were a man, he would have no more ideas of scarlet or green. I think different though because there is never a black or white to start with. Colors would come darker or lighter to see a object. So if a baby cant see color and only sees black or white. Then that baby would not only see black or white but would make a whole different set of colors from just the two of them. "So no matter what he would always have more ideas of scarlet or green"
