"It is funny,you will be dead some day" Analysis
In Modernism poetry, poets had a desire to fit their poetry for an era of global violence. E.E. Cummings displays this in his poem "It Is Funny, You Will Be Dead Someday". Just from the very first line alone he's already taking about death, and probably from global violence. However, in the fourth line Cummings informs his readers that everyone is going to die. Due to that, he doesn't want humans to look as death as a huge thing, but instead as just another event. If the world was to treat it as such then death would actually be more comical and funny, which is what Cummings is shooting for. Once that happens Cummings's task in this poem would be completed and a success.
