"Invictus" by William Ernest Henley
In an episode of One Tree Hill, the poem “Invictus” by William Ernest Henley is entirely recited. The poem is being read not by the characters themselves, but instead by an outside voice. Meanwhile, within the episode the camera is switching from one character’s life to another; with lively music playing in the background. The manner in which the poem is read makes the words sound inspirational and motivational; enhancing the lines in a positive manner.

"Resume" by Dorothy Parker
In the movie Girl Interrupted, the character Lisa, played by actress Angelina Jolie, recites Dorothy Parker’s poem “Resume.” The way Lisa recites the poem is very fast paced and slightly careless, due to this I feel that some of the meaning within the poem is lost. The poem suggests the theme of suicide, yet when it is being said in the movie cheerful music is being played in the background. The poem is not being enhanced.
