    When looking for the dialectical shift between the prose and the poetry, you need to look for wherever each individual line begins with a capital letter. 

    For example, this paragraph would be prose because as I move to the next line, the word "move" isn't capitalized.  Also, the character speaks in an entire paragraph without any lines breaking or any "odd" words, such as "if" or "Or," being capitalized.  

    However, when trying to find the poetry, each line may have a different capital letter and they won't be written in paragraph form.
