Literary Constellations
I chanced upon this website when I was looking for an interesting read in Brainpickings.org . I am astounded that someone out there has taken time to make these literary constellations. How I miss Structure of English.
Constellations of first sentences from each chapter of short stories

She may not be the best teacher out there for everybody but I understand her the most. Not to mention, she is totally hilarious.
