The series is about 5 high school girls who are being bullied, threatened, and even abused by

“Anyone lived in a pretty how town” of E. E. Cummings is about an infamous man in a particular town. Writing the poem, Cummings’ purpose is to convey to the public a cruel fact, that people become less aware of each other in this society. The state of lacking of awareness of the world, of the surrounding individuals happens to any people.

contrast the two songs pretty hurts by Beyoncé and the song beautiful by Christina Aguilera. Both songs have almost the same meaning. Each song expresses the meaning different. Like pretty hurts by Beyoncé she expresses all the whys and what woman do to fit in society's profile.

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.
