Immediately I think the poem is called out, out because the boy at the beginning is trying to save himself work and get done early. This rushing causes him to get his hand cut off and later the loss of blood kills him.
Paraphrase: the beginning goes on with a personification of the saw.
Then it transitions to describe the youth of the boy and his inexperience, yet this adult role he must play.
Connotation: this is a reflection of how the boys immaturity but forced to be in the position causes a tragity.it is a reflection of the time period.
Attitude,tone: the author uses an innocent and nonjudgmental tone when describing the saw and personifying it, this tone changes to a more critical and empathetic tone when describing the child. The end of the poem uses a neutral tone when describing the tragity with a bit of sorrow and empathy.
Shift: the big shift happens when the sister calls the boy for dinner.
Title: the title explains how the character wants out of a job and out of a position but is probably forced by the circumstances, his youth and immaturity however gives him out in the unexpected form of death.
