For purposes of documentation, you will need to refer to line or line numbers as follows: for example, (lines 4-5) or (line 1). When using more than one line of poetry at a given time, use the / (diagonal) to show where the line break occurs. When using the / to designate a line break, be sure to space once before the diagonal and after the diagonal.

The essay must be a minimum of 6 well-developed paragraphs. Proof carefully. Adhere to MLA guidelines for all documentation and formatting.
