(The quoted phrases are directly quoted from the poem "Out,Out-")

The poem “Out,Out-” consists of one verse, which is similar in tone to an anecdote, allowing the author to build up the tension step by step. Frost at first describes the noise made by the saw, "the buzz saw snarled and rattled in the yard". The diction “snarled” personifies the saw, suggesting that it is an exasperated animal who is about to attack. This is a foreshadowing as it implies that the saw is dissatisfied and angry. But at this moment, there is a temporary peace as “nothing happened” yet. -

The repeated conjunction “and”, despite making the tone of the poem informal when used to start a sentence, builds up ideas and imagery by connecting one description to another. For example, at line seven “Under the sunset far into Vermont./ And the saw...” The conjunction shifts the focus from Vermont to one of the yards in the area, from an overall view of the place to a more specific area. This shift suggests how insignificant life is as compared to the surrounding natural beauty.

Thanks a lot.
