E.E. Cummings poem, “anyone who lived in a pretty how town” speaks of the human condition and the faulty realities of our society. We encompass our lives around our goals and the people/things that help us to achieve our personal definitions of fulfillment. As a result we lose touch of the soles around us who do not directly affect us, consequently becoming isolated and indifferent towards one another. Cummings depicts the faulty realities of humanity and the individual soul through his use of characters “anyone” and companion “none” who serve as representation of individual lives within society. The characters are ultimately forgotten as a result of the uncaring individuals/neighbors within their “pretty how town”.

In one of his more popular works, “Anyone Lived In A Pretty How Town”, Cummings gives his insight into a world where he believes love to be sparse.

For this week’s journal I chose “Anyone Lived in a Pretty How Town” by E. E. Cummings. It is quite interesting poem with simple words that can be easily understood by readers. The meaning of the poem is that it describes the simple/ordinary life cycle of human beings. All people grow up, work, get married and then die. For example, “someones married their everyones laughed their crying and did their dance” (line 17-18) and “One day anyone died I guess” (line 25).

The manner in which Cummings arranges the words of his poems creates an image in the reader's mind of the topic he is discussing, such as a season or climbing stairs. His visual style also

Although I did not write an analysis on the poem "in Just" by Cummings, I found it cheerful and lively, as you mentioned in your post. The spaces between the words as "whistles/far and wee," recall a vivid picture of the "lame balloonman," who is slowly whistling while two kids are running full of life. The author purposely write "eddieandbill" without spaces between the name, as referring to childhood in general. Moreover, the repetition of the words "ballonman/whistles/far and wee" together with the unconventional typography create a sort of joyful melody that well represent the spring

Cummings showed carelessness through tone. The Tone in this poem is selfish but the poem still showed carelessness. The first piece of text evidence said in the poem to show selfish and carelessness is “One day anyone died i guess.” “””( and noone stooped to kiss his face)””” (Cummings 25-26). This showed carelessness because on the literal meaning of the poem when anyone dies no one comes and visit them or tell them goodbye but on the love story of the poem when anyone died no one came to kissed him and tell him bye.

Life in society becomes quite busy as individuals age. From rushing to work or school, there is rarely time for anything else. Therefore, because of the busy lives individuals have, it causes them to be incapable of focussing on the little things in life. E.E. Cummings, reveals this as the cycle of life in “anyone lived in a pretty how town”. Cummings use of dictation creates an abnormal setting of life, which reflects reality. Not only, does Cummings create such a setting but also uses pronouns, as a dual meaning, to suggest people whose names were unknown. In the poem, no one is a man and anyone is a woman. These pronouns represent these two individuals because it exhibits that no one actually knows them because they are too busy with their
