E. Cummings When God Decided To Invent
E.E. Cummings wrote “When God Decided to Invent” to illustrate his thoughts about God’s creations. Just from the title it shows that Cummings believed that God chose to make/create things. The poem shows Cumming’s interpretation of how God wanted to create the world, “and everything began” (Cummings, 4). The poem starts off with a clear message, and then the words start to become jumbled, and harder to understand, “himself he picked the was“ (Cummings, 6). This leaves the second stanza to be interpreted as you want. Everyone might have a different answer, which represents how everyone's life is different. God created life, and he created earth, but he does not choose your fate. You choose your path, and you see what happens after that.
