My Senior year of high school we had one week devoted to studying the history of the english language and it was one of my favorite weeks of school. I love learning about the history behind all languages and I think the history of English is just such a clear representation of conquering and mixing. The version I heard was slightly different, but the same basic history.
I love this graphic because it truly makes me imagine a writer with a brush, making broad strokes across the page and the words appearing. When I think about a writer using all the colors, I think that a writer must go beyond what is comfortable. Perhaps what is comfortable are the blues. But one must explore different stories, different characters, different places, genres, and styles of writing! Only when one has experimented with a variety of factors is a writers using all the colors!
