The poem I found most relatable was "If" because it shows that if the world was perfect we wouldn't be the same. For example when he says "I wouldn't be I". The qoute shows that if the world was perfect he wouldn't have overcome challenges and be who he is today. All this makes it reletabel because if I didn't overcome challenges I wouldn't the person people know me as.

I found "Humanity I Love You" to be the most relatable since I feel similarly towards humanity.

I found "If" the most relate-able because it really applies to everyone. Cummings writes about how if everything was just as everyone wanted, nobody would be who they are. People are made who they are by the challenges they overcame; if they got everything, they would be nobody.
I related most to Cummings's poem "If" because what if everything in the world was perfect? For example in the second stanza when Cummings says "and measles were nice and a lie warn't a lie" Nothing would be interesting because everything would be too simple. Without problems in life it would be too boring.

The poem I found the most relatable was "If" because Cummings said that if he hadn't gone through every single challenge he faced throughout his life he wouldn't be himself. He said that although the world would be a better place without challenges nobody would be who they truly are without them.

I think "if" was the most relatable because it imagines how things would be if everything the world was perfect. No one would be themselves. It might seem nice at first but nothing would be right.

I found the poem "If" to be the most relatable. It explains the fact that the world would practically have no meaning to it if people didn't have to overcome problems and challenges. Also, it shows that people are who they are because of what they have to face and deal with.

the poem that I found most relatable was "If" because it shows that if the world was perfect everyone and everything would be the same making no difference in the world but the world is not perfect so everyone and everything is different and unique.
