You could look at the atypical association of 'poetry' with a 'service station' - a place that's normally associated with gritty/commonplace/quotidian/prosaic mundanity (laying on the vocab here in case you need some alternate terminology to draw from ;) ).
Or, you could look at the sibilance (hissing 's' sound) in "this forsaken service station" and how that creates a sense of languid lethargy (...not sure how relevant this is to the text as a whole though!) Though the line kind of proves itself correct by saying 'there's poetry in ____' <--and then using particular techniques to describe the thing. And then maybe you could use this to build up to some conclusion about the way the speaker can see the hidden beauty in otherwise "forsaken" and abandoned/ignored/unappreciated landscapes :)

This is a great quote for the representation of landscapes!! I am doing Art of Travel as well for Mod C and this is one of my quotes I have committed to memory.
I cant remember the exact page, but make sure (seeing as it is a multimodal text) that you are talking about the accompanying image/artwork as well! This will make your essay really sing :)
The only technique I can find is sibilance as outlined by Lauren (I dont think the rhyming "forsaken" and "station" is a technique) but this is a great quote as it contrasts the unexpected nature of landscapes with the representation of beauty can be found wherever one looks.
On this point, do we have to remember the chapter (I-IX) it is from? Or is the quote just fine?

The quote is always fine on its own, there's no need for any chapters/page numbers/scene numbers etc. Assume that your marker knows your text well enough that they know exactly where the quote is found :)

Well I know that the marker knows where it is. Will they penalise me though if I dont show them that I know where it is?
Likewise: do i need act or act/scene references for Shakespeare? Because I was told we should remember them..
