I think it talks about similar topics with Emily Dickinson poetry but also I think it also has a similar idea to catcher in the rye with the people not caring about the people who live around them and just letting terrible things happen

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is a more modern town and the people are all growing up fast but not one stops to think or care about other people

# data[].attributes.body
I think it reminds me a lot of people now they are all too worried about themselves to think about how other people are affected by them or care about them

What do the four seasons represent in the poem is it time passing by for the people that is being lost?

It reminds me of now a days because people are too busy on their phones to notice people right next to them.

It is in a town where people are too busy to notice each other so they die alone

What does he mean by “Women and men (both dong and ding)” is he referencing to how men and women are emotionally connected with eachother?

what does he mean by “ bird by snow and stir by still

I believe this is different than the other two because it is more a quite life where everyone lives their own lives and nothing really gets them down.

It reminds me of a quite old town that doesn't see any big events and everyone is close.

# data[].attributes.body
A couple live in a nice and pretty town that is always beautiful and never so any sadness.

What does he mean by, "Women and man(both dong and ding)?
Does it refer to the sounds, dong being a deeper sound being for a man and ding more high pitched?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it’s more similar to the catcher in the rye because there both negative books one curses a lot and the other talks about death but in the catcher in the rye the main character fixes his ways in the end unlike this poem.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the poem is just a year that goes by quickly and seasons. They start off as kids, grow up and die.

It doesn’t remind me of anywhere I’ve been personally but neither canton or Plymouth because this poem is dark and sad and I don’t think canton nor Plymouth are like that

This is similar to The catcher in the rye because in this the couple says everyone are fake and annoying. This is also referred by Holden, the in character in The Catcher In The Rye. who calls everyone "phonies" and annoying

# data[].attributes.body
This reminds of Plymouth. Old and everyone interacts with each other. Also Plymouth is very old and it also reminds me of downtown.

# data[].attributes.body
I figured out that this is about a couple, who is in love and always says yes. This couple doesn't think anything negative of anybody. The place is some sort of town or suburb

# data[].attributes.body
A question I have is that, why does he say that "anyone's any was all to her"? The weird thing is that how can someone be anyone's any.

Nicholas Reynolds 4th hour, I feel it  is different from next to God of course America I and The Catcher in the Rye because this poem shows the beauty of being a loving couple in a pretty surrounding. Although anyone dies, noone shows her love kissing his face. It says to me time and chance happens to all and love, life, and death. They are all normal and common.

Why does the poet uses "how" in the title?  In the second stanza, what does the men and women sowed and reaped? What do the line in stanza 4 mean "Birds by snow and stir by still"? Why does poet uses phrases like - "spring summer autumn winter" and also "sun moon stars rain"? Why are children brung up in the poem?

# data[].attributes.body
It seems like a very sad, lonely place. I'm not sure if this is correct, but I think it is saying something about how people make each other feel lonely by their actions.

# data[].attributes.body
I would say it's similar to "next to god of course america i" because they both use some pretty confusing wording that makes you think deeply about the poem. To me, it seems pretty different from The Catcher in the Rye. That book uses language that people speak with. This poem doesn't use the language style people use to speak, and it is much more complex than The Catcher in the Rye.

# data[].attributes.body
It doesn't really remind me of anywhere I've been before. I wouldn't say that it reminds me of Plymouth or Canton. It has a gloomy sense to it, and I don't think Plymouth or Canton do.

The difference between the next to god of course america and this is that the other poem talk about the love of person towards america. The similiarity is that they both uses very high level and descriptive worlds. The similiarity in the Catcher in the rye and this is that both of them have "anyone" (holden in catcher in the rye) that thinks that people don't care for eachother.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this poem is about peoples' lives. "Anyone" represents all people. "children guessed (but only a few and down they forgot as up they grew..." might refer to their childhood and that, as they grow up, they forget their earlier memories.

What if "anyone", "noone", "someones", and "everyones" each represent an entire group of people?

# data[].attributes.body
"Women and men (both dong and ding) summer autumn winter spring reaped their sowing and went their came sun moon stars rain" comes after anyone dies, so I think that part of the message is that though people die, life goes on. The ones who are alive continue their life through the years, which are represented by the cycles of "stars rain sun moon."

# data[].attributes.body
It reminds me of Westland, where I used to live. I think the poem is about all places with a society. It is about the people who live in a place, and how all civilizations share the same things, such as children growing up, people getting married, people grieving together, people being buried, people moving on, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
"next to god of course america i" and "anyone lived in a pretty how town" are similar in that they are metaphorical and use very little capitalization and no commas. As far as I know, "anyone lived in a pretty how town" and "Catcher in the Rye" are both about society.

# data[].attributes.body
What does "he sang his didn't he danced his did" mean?

# data[].attributes.body
ee cummings also named both of his poems ("anyone lived in a pretty how town" and "next to god of course america i") after the frist line of the poem.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the story is not refering to a certain person and is instead refering to anyone. The author uses words like "anyone" "someone" "everyone" as if they are saying this poem is a representation of some peoples lives.

# data[].attributes.body
The poem also shows us a cycle as it repeats the words "sun moon stars rain" and the seasons "summer spring authum winter"  After the author lists a new life changing event that will happen in anyones life, he then lists these words. I think he is using these words to show us how there are still some things that will not change, as life moves on. (The seasons, sun, moon, stars, and rain will always be there for the next "anyone")

# data[].attributes.body
Of all the lines in the poem, why did the author choose to use the line "anyone lived in a pretty how town" as the title?

# data[].attributes.body
At first I picture a small older quiet town. However, as I thought more about the story I feel like there is no certain setting and instead a "pretty how town" represents any town.

# data[].attributes.body
Both of ee cummings poems,("next to god of course america i" and "anyone lived in a pretty how town") were written in all lowercase, and refered to a large group of people instead of centering in on only one person.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the author is trying to say that the people in this town were very self involved and didn't care about people besides themselves or "anyone". Also, the children seem to care about "anyone", but as they get older they turn into their self involved parents.

# data[].attributes.body
The poem reminds me of any smaller town where everybody knows everybody. I've never experienced places like this but I've read about them in various books.

This poem is similar to The Catcher in the Rye because it is about society not truly invested in the lives that surround them. Holden is a very lonely teenager and it sounds like the people in this town are very lonely too.

# data[].attributes.body
When I started reading the poem, I pictured some areas of Plymouth and areas where my family stays in northern Michigan in a really small town.  It reminds me of a small town that not a lot of people know about where everyone knows each other.  It seems like a place from the distant past.  Not from too long ago, but long enough to the point where there wasn't a lot of advanced technology and it was the norm for people to be really involved in their communities.

# data[].attributes.body
Why did the author choose to repeat the line "sun moon stars rain"? Also, why are only parts of the poem rhyming?

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is a rather lonely town, that is full of sadness. I also think that the author is describing that things will not change as time goes on.

# data[].attributes.body
This might not be right, but to me, it seems like the poem is referring to a town where the kids used to be happy and enjoy life, but as they grew up, they went through tragedies and feel like not a lot of people care about them anymore.  What makes the poem sad is that it feels like its theme is how the world corrupts children's innocent minds and that over time, good things eventually fade and are only temporary.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it describes a town that will soon be abandoned, almost like Chernobyl used to be before and now it is just memories.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is more like Catcher in the Rye because it seems the people do not care for each other and are not invested in one another. Holden is more invested in himself than anybody else.

What do they mean by "Slept their dream"?  Also why is "Women" the only thing that is ever capitalized?

# data[].attributes.body
The poem shows us as time passes by through the seasons, and the stars, rain, sun, and moon. Kids grow up and adults die. Then the cycle of life continues. Nobody seemed to really care for anyone except for themselves. Unless they fell in love with someone and later got married.

The poems "next to god of course to america i" and "anyone lived in a pretty how town" are they use satire in the poems. "Catcher in the Rye" and "anyone lived in a pretty how town" are similar because they show sadness in the poem involving death. They also talk about society.

# data[].attributes.body
