this poem was ok, it was kind of weird cause it talks about a boy gettin
his hand cut off by a chain saw but it was pretty interesting. Lets just
say that it keep me reading it so that has to say something since i dont
even like poetry and i would have never read this if my teacher wouldnt
have made me. But ya know it was ok

It's significant that only 3 lines in the poem actually mention the boy
dying. The other workers don't care about the boy because he was only
valued as a worker, not as a person. Also, in the last 7 lines when the boy
is dying, there is a notable absence of his family members.

The poem has a very poignant ending that reinforces what the poem is about
and shows emotion

I love this poem; the end two lines are just so practical "No more to build
on there. And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their
affairs". And the personification of the saw, is just so cute and yet when
you realise what’s happened it's like a blow. The reason that this poem is
sooo good is that it deals with death with a sad practicality.

Besides being related to Shakespeare, one can also say that the poem is
related to William Golding’s The Lord of the Flies, where the fall of
innocence is present. In “Out, Out--”, the boy’s hand gets cut off and he
sees all. He sees the real world as it really is, as a world of cold,
almost heartless nature. In The Lord of the Flies, Ralph sees the innate
evil nature of man and especially the loss of innocence in man. Ralph
finally sees just how evil man is, and can no longer go back to his
innocent phase of life. That is one the themes in The Lord of the Flies
and, in “Out, Out--”, a main theme is how life goes on.

i love how this poem reflects the dark thoughts in Macbeth. "Out, out,
brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and
frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more..." Thats exactly
what this poem is about. The boy has a short and unfulfiling life. He dies
young and is "heard no more." I think its funny that he compares life to a
candle and then says it is heard no more... lol... a candle was never
"heard" in the first place...

The poems about a young boy who gets his hand chopped off, his peers and
other people around him MUST get on with life, they have no time to mourn,
this is not aacceptable now a days but could have been common in 1916. The
poem shows great resemblemence to macbeth an this is why the title is out
out.
