I have always thought that this poem was written about how different people
react to the loss of loved ones in different ways. Some recover and some
never truly do. I think that he used the alliteration of the names to show
how alike the four subjects were and yet they all dealt with their loss in
their own way. I do agree with Richard about the capitalization. ee
cummings doesn't want us to focus on their names but on what they
discovered down at the beach.

Jamie, I think that Richard is correct. He uses caps for emphisisum. In
the poem
"anyone lived in a pretty how town", one of my favorites, Cummings
capitalizes
the word Woman twice. So in this poem, the names aren’t important. The
subject is. But you're right to Jamie. He doesn't oftenly capitalize.
That's all I
wanted to say.

Actually it is to my working knowledge, Richard, since I am pracitcally an
expert on this poet, that Cummings does not captialize the names of the
girls because part of his unique style is that he makes typical
typographical errors. He seldom captitalizes anything.

anyways...let me explain to u what this poem means. In the title the girls
names arent capitalized meaning he wants us to focus more on the subject
matter rather than the people. Second Maggie is spelled differently than
the rest telling us to focus on what she finds which takes her troubles
away so the poem is about troubles. The Last stanza is telling us that we
are not the only ones on this earth who have bad days or are feeling bad
and that we can always find something or someone to ease our troubles.

I think that this poem is the best poem that I had ever read. Usually I
read Walt Whitman. I think that e.e cummings is good at writing the poems
he writes, this poem is my favorite because of the assonance and
alliteration in the poem.I think that he is better at writing poems than
other poets. But that's only my opinion.

1. Many of you really need to improve your grammar.
2. I don't really know what this poem is saying, but I think it is saying
that everyone discovers something different every day, whether that is good
or bad.
3. I also think that Anna from the U.K. has provided a plausible
explination, but forgot about the crab.

this poem isn't actually all that deep
the last line tells you what the poem means as a whole
all of the things that the girls found depicted thier character. thats it
what the heck is there to think about. but i think the poem is very funny
and smart

Here Cummings beautifully portrays how significant and creatively inspiring
even the smallest of things can be. Sometimes, it is necessary to see that
which is right in front of u, as poets we often delve to deeply...
