'Explain how people can find miracles in everyday life. Support your ideas with examples from the poems 'in Just' and 'Daily'. This is what I got- is it OK?
The greatest miracle above all is life itself, and the many wonderful things we find in it. Even the smallest pleasures can be considered miracles. For example, in the poem “in Just” by E. E. Cummings, the brilliant atmosphere of spring is described with words that aren’t real but show a colorful meaning. It describes how children hopscotch and jump rope, dance and whistle. Happiness is magnificent and the vivid colors of spring are breathtaking.
In the poem “Daily” by Naomi Shihab Nye, she describes images that appear in her everyday life but reveals her amazement by comparing the simple things to awe-inspiring ones. This poem lets us know that everything in our life is great, whether it’s planting seeds, folding shirts, or slicing tortillas and frying chips.

You might want to expand & add more evidence, but I like it.
weren't you supposed to write about two DIFFERENT ideas. They are both very good examples, but i believe you should have talked about a different miracle instead of life itself both times. Just an idea(: good job though!
Yes, your explanation is on the right track! You have recognized the idea that people can find miracles in everyday life and have supported it with examples from the poems "in Just" by E. E. Cummings and "Daily" by Naomi Shihab Nye.
In "in Just," Cummings uses vivid and nonsensical language to describe the joyful atmosphere of spring and the innocence of children playing. By using words like "mud-luscious" and "puddle-wonderful," Cummings captures the vibrant and magical quality of the season. This example shows how even the simple act of children playing can be seen as a miracle, bringing happiness and wonder to everyday life.
Similarly, in "Daily," Nye finds amazement in the ordinary aspects of her daily routine. She compares seemingly mundane tasks like planting seeds, folding shirts, and preparing food to awe-inspiring acts. Nye reveals the beauty and significance in these small moments, highlighting the miracles that can be found in the simple joys of everyday life.
By incorporating these examples, you have effectively supported the idea that people can find miracles in everyday life. Great job!
