Visualize The Scene

Imagine what the setting and the people looked like and felt. Imagine what the setting sounded like and smelled like. By bringing in all the senses that you can, you will make the passages that much easier to remember and when you can remember how a scene played out in your head then memorizing the words is not much of a leap.
