A Comparison of The death of a hired man and Out, Out- by Robert Frost

A Comparison of The death of a employ man and Out, Out- by Robert FrostRobert frost was born in Vermont in 1874 and died in 1963. RobertFrost was a farmer and lived in Vermont, USA. Both rimes The death ofa hired man and Out, Out- are set on a farm in Vermont which isprobably because of where Robert Frost lived and worked.I will know begin to discuss the similarities. As I said previously twain poems are set in a farm enviroment. The poem The death of ahired man is probably set in winter so on that point would not be a manage ofwork to be done therefore Warren the owner of the farm would not needto hire any workers because he would be able to do the work himself.The poem ?Out, Out is set in summer therefore there would be a lotof work to do and this is the reason why the boy, at his age, isworking.My following similarity is that both poems flow through chronologicallyfrom beginning to end and this can be said to be the first level ofunderstanding, the next level of understandi ng is that the poemportrays the last part of measure that Silas and the young boy have alive(predicate) the poem starts off and they?re alive and as soon as the poemsend so does their lives, thus giving the poem an abrupt ending, just same(p) actual death. So time plays a major role in these poems. Anotherexample of time is that both of the poems have a passage of time inthem. In ?The death of a hired man? the passage is when,?I?ll sit and see if that small sailing cloudWill stool or miss the moon.?After this there is a passage of time, which portrays Warren spendingtime with Silas.?It hit the moon.?This is like Mary telling us that Silas has died.My next similarity is that in both poems the poet shows a widerpic... ...ing that each has ofeach other and it seems to me that both knows how the others mindworks. In ?Out, Out-? there is no sense of relationship surrounded by any ofthe characters, I sense that the boy is very alone in his workplaceand that he is probably out of the w ay from everybody else.Out of the two poems I liked the second poem better. The reason why Iliked this poem better was because I felt that ?Out, Out-? was a moreconventional poem and I liked the use of personification to make thesaw seem to be alive. I could also relate more with the young boy, asI understand him to be around the same age as me and personally Iwould not be happy to be in his situation and to be working and I feelquite privileged to be at school when compared to his life. The thingI like about ?The death of a hired man? is the loving relationshipbetween Mary and Warren.
