2. E.E CUMMINGS

3. E.E CUMMINGS’S STYLE  Non-traditional, experimental  Spare and precise (uses few key words)  Uses some invented words (combining two common words into a new synthesis  Uses words as “if” “am” “because” as nouns, assigning his own meanings to words (meaning > correct grammar)  Often used the pronoun “i” in the lower case, to show that self is not always as important as it seems  Used capital words when he wanted to emphasize them ex) Humanity i love you

4. WHAT IF A MUCH OF A WHICH OF A WIND  Emotion : cynical, powerful, demanding,  Image 1 : Nature will not cease to exist; only creature who can change it is the man.  Image 2 : extended personification of nature describing seasonal change from winter to spring.  Image 3 : A man sitting in a field watching the nature and the sky.  Idea : Everything changes as the time passes by. The more generations the world goes through, the more the world develops.
