i'm am doing this poem project and i picked out a poem from the movie Thirteen.

Book Of Lies
He was crippled,
But only his body was cracked.
It's not simple,
Nor is an easy matter to explain.
Lets just leave it at that she says,
And closes the holy book of lies.
She covers her eyes, denying to herself
What she thought happened.


i need to know what lines stood out?
when you reread it, what else did you understand about it?
what do you think the poet wanted you to get from his/her poem?



i know i can answer those questions but it's kinda hard to explain...i can't put it into the right words.

i also have to do a biography of the author Eliza Mae Smith...i searched almost everywhere in google for her and found nothing...so if know a site about her i would apperciate that

i think it's telling a story.
a man lied a girl, and the girl knew it. but she pretend he didn't tell lie. and still be with him. that's y she want to close the holy book of lies, covers her eyes pretend can't see, denying to herself as he lied to her with a resonable reason.
although the man didn't mean to lie her, his hurt must less than the girl.
so only his body was cracked, not heart.

that's what i understand^^"
