memorize "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe

.....hi….

hmm…for later…i loved the poem…but this does take a little low priority right now . I shall come back !!

I am quite excited. I have the first five stanzas memorized!!

All the way from “once upon a midnight dreary” to “an echo murmer back the word, Lenore! Merly this and nothing more.”

^_

^_ I just started my attempt to memorize The Raven. It shall be my goal as of late. I’ll keep ya updated.

because I wanted to. I’m a nerd, I know. I now get a little mixed up about halfway through, but I have two favorite parts:

“The silken, sad, uncertain rustling of each purple curtain”
is an awesome line.

and of course, the last few lines.

“And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor, shall be lifted NEVERMORE”

yay.

i say not worth it cuz i’m not the kind of person who thinks anything is worth anything. but seriously if you don’t believe me call me up at 1-580-875-3995, and i’ll tell it to you. i’m a poe finatic, and some ppl say it’s impossible to memorize, but just think of it as a story that rhymes.memorize the story first, and the rest is as easy as a seseme street 24 peice puzzle(which is hard a fk for me, but it depends on the person.). i’ve also momorized ANNABEL LEE. seriously, not bullst.

minorly sucessful. i do have the first five stanzas memorized. but then again, that’s exactly what i had memorized 5 years ago. in other words, no progress.

Yay! I finished!

This was fairly easy. I memorized three stanzas at a time and quoted what I knew of the poem daily until I felt I could add some new material. This is really fun to memorize. If you get this down, you’ll be ready for any on-the-spot talent show!

I just reviewed the first 12 stanzas and memorized three more! 15 down, 3 to go! I’m almost done!

Look at it whenever you want to, print it out, format it so there’s three stanzas on a page, change the font size, do whatever is most helpful to you.

(I printed it out on six pages with three stanzas each.)
