Out There

Practice Work “Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly,” which was said by Langston Hughes, connects to Robert Frost’s “Out, Out” due to how the boy does not have a break, no time for dreaming or for thinking of the future. The main boy is doing yard work, when he has his hand sliced open by a buzz saw. He had been taken to the doctor’s, and eventually dies. After this, everyone just goes on with life which is an interesting elongated metaphor.…

Sun’s Out Gun’s Out I feel my skin cooking under the burning sun; salt in the breeze further tangling my hair only adding to my frustration. The volunteers line up to try their hand at removing my back seat from two moms, a marine, and a Budweiser fireman. Right around the time crowbars start to be introduced into the conversation I start asking myself “Why? Why did I put the keys in the trunk”? Spring break my senior year i was ready to take my first solo road trip. I had had this whole trip…

The characterization, and symbolism used in Mending Wall and Out, Out- gives readers an understanding…

In “Out, Out-“by Robert Frost, a young boy dies due to his hand being cut off with a saw as he is working. A young boy. “Since he was old enough to know,…

In his poem, “Out, Out--,” Robert Frost uses a variety of figurative language in order to give power and lifelike characteristics to an inanimate object. Frost uses techniques, such as onomatopoeias, in order to add humanlike aspects to a lifeless saw. By constantly mentioning how, “The buzz saw snarled and rattled in the yard…” (1), Frost gives the inanimate saw the ability to make sounds. By giving the saw this ability, the author is giving it more character traits and allowing it to be…

What is it like to be out of place? Being out of place can feel awkward, and scary for anyone. Out of place can be in everyday life. Imagine if you went to an Ohio State Buckeyes and a Michigan Wolverines football game. The game was at Ohio State and a Michigan fan was walking around the stadium. Would he be out of place? Well the correct answer would be yes. There has in fact been a couple times that I have felt out of place. From switching schools, to ranging from sports in high school, and…

Is the use of a hand worth the loss of a life? In the poem “Out, Out--” by Robert Frost the speaker tells of a boy who uses a saw to cut stove length sticks of wood for a living. The boy ran his hand into a saw and instead of taking precautions to save his life he demanded that his hand be saved. As a result of these demands the boy not only loses his hand but also dies. Frost uses key imagery, foreshadowing, diction, and irony, to show that in certain circumstances holding onto something can…

After a long day of going to classes, me, and my best friend, decided to go watch Get Out after hearing from our other friends that had already watched it., that it was worth watching. We knew that our time was going to be well spend by enjoying a well-made film. The film Get Out is seen by some viewers as a horror movie, but for me it is seen more as a suspenseful film. This is shown in the film with the script of the film and how the main character, Chris, goes to his girlfriend’s house, Rose,…

When I think of the meaning of education being “to lead out” and “to raise or bring up,” it easily complies with my personal view of education. Looking at my past teachers and mentors, I can see how they led me to be a better person and student, and how they brought me up and helped to build upon my intellectual and emotional intelligence. I consider education to be a tool that can be used for the betterment of society as a whole, and with teachers leading their students and bringing them up the…

one of the struggles of coming out was that I also had to explain asexuality. I had to make sure the explanation was thorough and logical and that the other person would understand that it is actually a real thing. Which is why I decided to come out through text message- so I could proofread it. I came out to two of my friends in the fall of my junior year. They both took it well, and each time it was as if a weight had been taken off my shoulders. I didn’t come out to anyone else (outside of…
