Critical Evaluation of a poem “Out, Out” by Robert Frost

A poesy which I lose get word recently is Out, Out by Robert icing. This verse air is memorable as it affected me in several ways. It surprise me because the little son cut off his hand and then died, besides also because after the boy died people turned back to their work and didnt seem to c atomic number 18 about the boy.When I had read the rime for the first time the title did not seem important because I could not tell what the rime was about, from it. After I had studied the rime in more than detail, I fliped the poetry to be curiously strong. The title Out, Out is a famous quotation from Macbeth which was written by Shakespeare. It intrigues the reader by holding them in suspense which makes them read on. The poet intrigued me the first time I read the title as I thought it was a very peculiar title for this poem. This made me study the poem in more detail it was the title of this poem which made me keep the poem vividly in my head. The title of this poem was effective because the poet was comparing our action to the life of candle flame and how it can be put out. He is trying to stress to us how short life is.Robert Frost appeals to my sense of smell, sight and hearing by the writingSweet scented stuffThe techniques he used were alliteration and onomatopoeia. He uses alliteration by starting all the words in the quotation above with an S sound. Also onomatopoeia by using the quotationThe buzz saying knotted and rattledThis line in the poem is showing us what the saw is doing. He also used repetition by usingthe saw snarled and rattled, snarled and rattledThis quotation is effective because it is stressing to us how boring but repetitive this job was. I think Frost appeals to our senses because he is trying to make us imagine we were at the scene of this horrific incident. As he appeals to my senses I can imagine I was at the scene of the accident, which is what Robert Frost wanted to achieve. This leaves a deep impression on me bec ause I was able to picture the scene of the incident clearly in my head.Another technique Robert Frost used in this poem was personification. An example of it being in this poem isAs if to prove saws knew what supper meant,Leapt out at the boys handThis quotation is giving the personality of a backup thing to the saw. In using this quotation Frost explains to us that it wasnt only the boy who was hungry but also the saw. Another phrase which contains the personification of the saw isthe saw snarledThis shows us how high-pressure the saw was while cutting the wood. It also told us that in general saws are angry and aggressive and the boy shouldnt of being using the saw. I think this as I think snarled is some form of movement a wild animal does. I think the poet uses personification to show us how aggressive the saw was. The poets use of personification helps me to remember the poem vaguely.One of the lessons I learnt from the poem was from the last both lines of the poemAnd they, since theywere not the ones dead, turned to their other affairsI think that after reading that Robert Frost wrote this poem to criticise our society today as we are thorny hearted. Also because people who index have known the boy didnt care they just turned to their other work. The other lesson I learnt from the poem was from the poem and how life is short and could end easily. I think these two points that Frost is making are valid points because today in our society today people only care about themselves and dont consider the fact about how short life is. This affected me in two ways, firstly I have started to think about others whose loved one has died and I have found out that lifes too short.The poem Out, Out by Robert Frost will remain vividly in my head because of all the effective techniques he used to get us to think about how hard hearted society is and also, how short life is. He was very successful in getting me to think about the two lessons I learnt. Although the beaver technique I thought was the way he managed to get me to think towards our society as hard hearted and how short life is. After reading the poem I was affected emotionally as I could relate the point which Frost brought up about us being hard hearted to the people who I have turned my back to in my life. Also I was emotionally upset as I had never given life a thought but after reading the poem I realise how precious life is to me.
