Poem Analysis on “Out, Out-, ” by Robert Frost Essay

My emotions toward this poem are depressed, forlorn, and melancholy. In Out, Out-,, a young son is at work about to go to dinner when suddenly the dictum cuts off his hand. A boy his age shouldnt ache to draw doing a mans job. Work back then had unthinkable conditions that make you want to cry. The line that struck out at me the about was begettert let him cut my hand off- The, When he comes. Dont let him sister So. But the hand was already gone. This made my whole body convulse at the thought of his hand existence cut off and eventually do his death.When breaking down the poem, I realized he used repetition of the words snarled and rattle. For me it created an ominous and almost foreshadowing affect. The working condition was not up to par, and Frost shows this by the line And they, since they were not the one dead, turned to their affairs. This shows how quite a little acted towards children working and that anything can happen. It also produced a personification because a saying doesnt answer to when being called to supper, nor can it leap. His sister stood beside him in her proscenium wallTo tell them Supper. At the word, the saw,As if to prove saws know what supper meant,Leaped out at the boys hand, or seemed to leapHe must(prenominal) have given the hand.Frost uses emotionally filled words in this poem. That must mean that he was attached to it emotionally and personally. I did some earth research and it is possible that he based it off of his neighbors son, Raymond Fitzgerald who cut off his hand with a saw and bled until he went into shock, causing heart failure. People either were not aware of the conditions back then, or they did and couldnt do anything about it because they needed the money. In that time period, everyone in the family had to contribute to survive. I believe he was also making a statement towards the government for not making regulations on the age essential of eligibility to work.
