“Life is too short.” These are words that are not said often enough, yet the same theme applies in many quotes. These words are sometimes muttered when something traumatic happens, or when the unexpected occurs, and one knows not what to do. These words are muttered in the most extremes of times, yet, never in the simplest. Life is too short, and while yes, this is true, there is also another side to the story. When life becomes too short, one must see that life also moves on. When a tragic event occurs, one has to see that the past is a good place to visit, but a horrible place to live.

“Out, Out-“is the story of two tragic events. With the understanding of Macbeths quote, “Out, Out-“develops a new meaning. As we grow up, we tend to lose sight of how much is actually passing before our eyes. We do not appreciate the small things, yet we never expect them to be taken away in an instant. Robert Frost tells of how a young boy is placed in a world that he is forced to grow up much faster than he should. The young boy has grown up into a man, all too quickly. “Half in appeal, but half as if to keep the life from spilling.” (Frost, Lines 21-22).
When the tragedy occurs it says that “use the last quote of the poem.” While this may seem harsh, this is what needs to be done. When a tragedy occurs, one should not be afraid to let their emotions take hold for a little while. It is okay to grieve and it is okay to cry, but it is not good to dwell over the past. This is another theme to Frost’s poem.With the abrupt ending and the immediate continuation of everyone’s lives, Frost shows that even after a tragedy, life goes on, and life has to go on. The death of a loved one is a serious matter, but one cannot
