P. 28 Don’t forget that the most memorable literature in history isn’t entire book but rather individual lines.

not entire, for one thing only p. 29 Poetry is successful , when through figurative

language, imagery, literary devices and other such techniques, it conveys meaning deeper than just the meaning of the individual words.

p. 41 Despite these differences, song lyrics can still make use of literary devices and other poetic aspects.

P.43 In the verse, the scheme is AABBCD/ EFEFGGD. This pattern can also be found in many poems.

much more than merely reading a piece of text. First of all, we should know poetry is the most compac

t form of writing whereas in novels the author could leave out many sentences and still get the main story across. Secondly, line breaks are essential in creating feeling.
