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

A Comparison of The death of a eng develop man and Out, Out- by Robert hoarfrostRobert frost was born in Vermont in 1874 and died in 1963. Robert frosting was a do surviveer and lived in Vermont, USA. Both poems The death ofa hired man and Out, Out- are set on a farm in Vermont which isprobably because of where Robert Frost lived and holded.I will know begin to discuss the similarities. As I said previouslyboth poems are set in a farm enviroment. The poem The death of ahired man is probably set in winter so there would not be a lot 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 wherefore the boy, at his age, isworking.My abutting 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 understanding is that the poemportrays the last part of time that Silas and the young boy havealive 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, justlike 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 hit 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 bloody shame telling us that Silas has died.My next similarity is that in both poems the poet shows a widerpic... ...ing that all(prenominal) has ofeach other and it seems to me that both knows how the others mindworks. In ?Out, Out-? there is no sense of relationship between any ofthe characters, I sense that the boy is in truth alone in his workplaceand that he is probably out o f the way 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 call for 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 permit 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.
