English.. in all its forms

After reading those chapters, and the discussion in class today, i must say I'm pleasantly surprised that writing can get so "deep". I love thinking about things in general, and when i sit back and take in all the facts that i just learned, I'm kinda awed by it all. English writing is so complex! I like how its almost like a painting... When an artist has a blank canvas before him or her, the design can be absolutely anything- there are no limits. I think that fact appeals to artists and like wise to writers. After the today, I'm thinking that writing is almost like painting in a way, but with words. That's a cool thing to think... I mean if you really do sit back and think about it. And, as i think of it right as i "type"... I think its cool how writing can mean so many things on paper, and when spoken it takes on a whole new presence. I like hearing different versions of the English language; whether it be an accent derived from whatever country they're from, or the traditional words like "wamel" (a term that means dog in the Black Country, Britain) from various english speaking countries. I'm however glad that the english language is so diverse in itself. It makes it so much more interesting. It's like a rainbow... art wouldn't be nearly as cool if the only color to use was blue or something of the like. I do understand how there is a time and a place for certain forms of writing, some that could be considered "more proper" than others... but i love how english is limitless in multiple aspects- even though it might make it difficult, i'd rather have it difficult, complex and interesting versus the contrary.
