What does she mean by "a pretty how town"?]]> 2020-05-04 15:34:21 UTC https://padlet.com/theplumqueen/2kvvbpyfzquxoud8/wish/549687578 Olivia Lesko https://padlet.com/theplumqueen/2kvvbpyfzquxoud8/wish/549696618 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.]]> 2020-05-04 15:37:04 UTC https://padlet.com/theplumqueen/2kvvbpyfzquxoud8/wish/549696618 Olivia Lesko https://padlet.com/theplumqueen/2kvvbpyfzquxoud8/wish/549713747 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.]]> 2020-05-04 15:42:18 UTC https://padlet.com/theplumqueen/2kvvbpyfzquxoud8/wish/549713747 Olivia Lesko https://padlet.com/theplumqueen/2kvvbpyfzquxoud8/wish/549728843 It doesn't really remind me of anywhere I've been before.

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"?

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.]]> 2020-05-04 16:32:04 UTC https://padlet.com/theplumqueen/2kvvbpyfzquxoud8/wish/549875208 Albert Yang https://padlet.com/theplumqueen/2kvvbpyfzquxoud8/wish/550003078 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. ]]> 2020-05-04 17:14:46 UTC https://padlet.com/theplumqueen/2kvvbpyfzquxoud8/wish/550003078 Does the 'she' refer to the town?

The ones who are alive continue their life through the years, which are represented by the cycles of "stars rain sun moon."

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.]]> 2020-05-04 17:41:24 UTC https://padlet.com/theplumqueen/2kvvbpyfzquxoud8/wish/550078609 Albert Yang https://padlet.com/theplumqueen/2kvvbpyfzquxoud8/wish/550123666 "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. ]]> 2020-05-04 17:57:44 UTC https://padlet.com/theplumqueen/2kvvbpyfzquxoud8/wish/550123666 Albert Yang https://padlet.com/theplumqueen/2kvvbpyfzquxoud8/wish/550142149 What does "he sang his didn't he danced his did" mean?]]> 2020-05-04 18:04:50 UTC https://padlet.com/theplumqueen/2kvvbpyfzquxoud8/wish/550142149 Samantha Rousseau https://padlet.com/theplumqueen/2kvvbpyfzquxoud8/wish/550310322 I think the story is not refering to a certain person and is instead refering to anyone.

I think he is using these words to show us how there are still some things that will not change, as life moves on.
