Research Paper English 201 August 7, 2008 The purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast the deaths described in the “Suicide Note” by Janice Mirikitani and “Out, Out”,by Robert Frost. Both poems have distinct differences and similarities. Both poems are similar in that they are written to describe the pain of death. The two poems are similar in that the author uses personification to give the reader a “feel” for what is going on, and how the series of events take place. Additionally, the two poems are similar in that in Suicide Note, the college student is trying to please her family by getting perfect grades; she is working hard at school, and feels that she is not good enough, smart enough, or pretty enough (Mirikitani, 1417); the college student is under pressure to live up to her parent’s expectations.
