25 First Lines Diagrammed
Pop Chart Lab has created a poster that displays the first lines of 25 famous novels diagrammed according to the Reed-Kellogg system. Back in the middle Triassic, I was actually taught this system for reasons that remain occult. I have no idea why a native speaker in middle school should know this bit of linguistic wonkery. Maybe to make the study of language seem more scientific? Dumb, and a waste of everyone's time.
But! The poster is sweet looking, and displaying information in novel ways is nifty.
