?The Road Not Taken? (1916) tells of someone faced with two of life?s decisions however only one can be chosen. Whichever road is taken will be final and will determine the direction that their life takes. Frost drives this poem by a calm and collective narrative, spoken by the traveler of the diverged roads.

Robert Frost’s poem “Out, Out” presents the boy’s innocence and passivity very carefully. Frost used personification in his writing to have a greater effect when talking about the buzz saw. The buzz saw is an inanimate object but the snarling and rattling personify it.

The reason for the buzz saw leaping out of the boy’s hand and injuring him was due to the excitement and brief carelessness on the boy’s part. It seems that Frost is blaming the buzz saw by saying it “Leaped out of the boy’s hand” when it was obviously the boy to blame.
