Now I remember

The way I remembered the poem " Richard Cory" was by reading each stanza one by one. So I read the first stanza and memorized that part and moved on to the next one and did the same thing. I kept practicing for about 1hr or so. I memorized it on a Tuesday which as the next day. I had to make sure it was very stuck in my head so before bed I read it again, or asked someone to test me on it. So it basically took me two days to make sure I had it well memorized.
