Poe is a very complex writer who loves to experiment and the poem "The Raven" is a valid proof of Poe's understanding of symbols in universal literature and his wish to explore and have control upon words and rhythm. The repetition of the word 'nevermore' comes to amplify the elegy that mourns the loss of the beloved Lenore. The effects the long vowels produce are shivering the readers' heart. Lord Byron himself experimented the play upon sounds in his poems before. Raven is the metamorphosis of a tragic love, a favourite symbol of death in many pieces of literature from ancient times. The visual contrast of a white bust like a ghost to the dark black raven in a "bleak" December, like in Dickens's "Bleak House", reinforce the tone of mourning a dear person.
In point of rhyme composition, the poem is fully based on Elisabeth Barretts' sophisticated rhythm and rhyme of "Lady's Geraldine Courtship" poem. The rhyme scheme is ABCBBB. The heavy use of alliteration, "doubting dreamy dreams..." plays huge role in the musicality of this beautiful narrative poem of 18 stanzas in which every B line rhymes with the obsessive "nevermore".

Explanation:
Irony is a literary device used when a character, or even the narration, says the opposite of what I really believe and think. An example of this can be seen in the text shown in the question above, in the lines "Nothing is perfect. This was one of Mrs. Hopewell's favorite sayings. Another was: that is life! And still another, the most important, was: well, other people have their opinions too. "
These lines were spoken by Ms. Hopewell, this is because she says that her daughter should not care what people say or think about the mechanical leg she uses, however Ms. Hopewell herself feels sorry for her daughter and ended up saying something contrary to what I really wanted to say.

The short italicized sections of the book contain the
introduction of the ‘author’ of the book who establishes himself as a character
in the text. It tells of his travels and adventures in the hopes of publishing
a book. He already had two books that flunked and thus he traveled to Bombay.
Here he became dejected as his goal to write about Portugal did not
materialize. He wandered through India and reached the town of Pondicherry
which was once controlled by the French Empire. He met Francis Adirubasamy who
became a pivotal character and started the ball rolling to create a book that
is ‘nonfiction’; fact that was
reestablished in other parts of the book with the same fashion. </span>
