Il y avait autrefois un garçon qui jouait du violon et qui souhaitait que les chaudes nuits d'été avec la douce brise fraîche ne finissent jamais. Il regarda les étoiles et espéra de tout son cœur. Soudainement une étoile est venue à lui et lui a dit que son souhait serait accordé s'il pourrait jouer la plus belle chanson qu'il pourrait. Le garçon a commencé à jouer et l'étoile a commencé à pleurer. La star a accordé son souhait et le garçon a passé tous ses jours à jouer aux étoiles pour montrer à quel point il appréciait leur cadeau. There once was a boy that played violin who wished the warm summer nights with the cool gentle breezes would never end. He looked to the stars and hoped with all his heart. Suddenly a star came to him and told him his wish would be granted if he could play the most beautiful song he could. The boy began to play and the star began to cry.

Syntax is a language that must be learned for typography. I had no idea what that word meant until reading this chapter. Letters, words, lines, columns, and margins are all made into whole while using typographic space, visual hierarchy, and grid systems. Already after 2 weeks of this class I know what typographic space, visual hierarchy and grid systems are, but I didn't fully understand how putting everything together is really important to typography. I just love how detailed typography has to be. The visual linking and connecting of elements to form advertising and market materials, logos, ect. On page 104 (fig. 5-54) I love the poster displayed, it shows the same object but being modified by colors and shape and it is very visually pleasing and it shows how many options you have while creating such things.
As first year design student, I also don't have very much experience with typographic grids and frameworks. I 100% learned a lot from this chapter because of that. I agree that it was interesting to see that there are so many different layouts and ways to format text and visuals. In your chapter five reflection you talk about how much you have learned in only two weeks of this class. It is actually quite incredible how much I have learned as well about typography in such a short amount of time.
