Robert Frost Personification

In Robert Frost’s poem “Out-Out-”, he uses literary devices to present the consequences of a careless, young child. This young boy seemed to be a hard worker although he finds himself in a dreadful tragedy that has no effect on anyone except himself. Robert Frost has created a character who only longed to be a “big boy” and lost his life by cutting off his hand. The boy did not know how brief life can be until it was too late. Frost shows this using imagery, diction, and other literary devices.

Frost is very exceptional at using imagery to really show us exactly what he is seeing. He first mentions a “yellow wood”, which means the leaves are changing colors. He goes on to tell you he looked as far as he could but the road “bent in the undergrowth” so he could not see very far down the path. He is very plain about telling us that both roads are “grassy and wanted wear”, and both “equally lay” letting us know the look pretty much the same. He writes in a way where you can picture walking down a path in the woods, and reaching a fork. A fork where you could take either way and from just looking at them they look to be equal making it that much harder to make a decision.

Frost’s poem is interesting because he uses personification and repetition in describing the saw, the saw is given life; it “snarled” and “rattled”. Frost talks about the saw as though it were a person when “as it ran light, or had to bear a load” like the saw can feel the weight of its work. The narrator depicts the scene as the saw and the boy interacting in a human way.

starting off the author of frost, M.P. kozlowsky uses the protagonist's character archetype of the innocent, to surprise the reader by having her defy her archetype norms. At the start of the book we, as a reader, are already able to tell she is the innocent due to her need for happiness, and desire for love. But as quickly as we come to realize her personality she defies expectations for an innocent, by standing up to authority, because she wants to save romes, her broot.

Robert Frost (1874-1973) was born in California and, when he was eleven, his dad died. After that, the family moved to the area of New England where he wrote most of his poetry. He is a well-known American voice and his work was well appreciated. He won the Pulitzer prize for poetry four times and, in 1960, he won the Congressional Gold Medal. In addition to being decorated as a poet, his poems are beloved for their simple but universal ideas which appeal to many. Three of these universal ideas include decision-making, imagination, and the beauty of the woods.

Robert Frost uses the poetic element of imagery to illustrate the theme of death. In Out, Out─, Frost writes “The buzz snarled and rattled in the yard” (line 1), this line creates sensory imagery to both sound and sight. The use of the word snarled in the first line of the poem makes the object come to life as the adjective gives the saw a violent characteristic. Dan Jaffe argues that, “They become opportunities for the personality to impose itself; they are reviled, distorted, made terrifying… things turn into monsters” (346). Repetition of the word snarled throughout the poem raises awareness to the significance the saw will play later on in the poem. The repeated use of the word rattled makes the saw appear to be deadly and out of control. The saw, in the poem,

“In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.” - John Muir. Nature is unpredictable and you never know what you’ll see when you are exploring it. Robert Frost used nature as something to help him describe his feelings in his poems, and showed how much nature can affect someone. Creative writers when surrounded by nature can make something worth reading about it. Frost just so happened to be one of those creative writers and that made him a great success.

It is no secret that “Out, Out” is not a very cheery poem, however, that is just the surface. Robert Frost drew his inspiration from a real-life accident in 1910, when a teen had badly hurt his hand while sawing wood and died of heart failure induced by shock shortly afterwards. “Out, Out” features a young boy “Doing a man’s work, through a child at heart-” (24). He is out splitting wood with a buzz saw on what appears to be a peaceful sunny day. Things, however, only go downhill from there, when the saw leapt out of his hand, sawing it off.

Everyone has morals in life. Weather learned from nature, family, or past experiences. Robert Frost is well known for using different themes to teach morals in his poems.
