Note: The James Larson example and several of the sample lead quotes were taken from Ed Kramer's English class in Solon, Ohio. Ed invited me to teach a few image grammar concepts to his high school students. Since I had taken almost all of the examples in Image Grammar from my eighth graders, I was anxious to compare responses with high school students. The results were both similar and positive.
