Robert Frost and Death on a Live Wire by Michael Baldwin Both of these poems that I have chosen to compare are about death, although the circumstances surrounding the death in each poem contrasts greatly. In the poem “Out, Out-“ a “big boy doing a mans work” and getting his hand severed by a buzz saw in a dramatic accident. The injuries sustained in this accident then lead to the “boys” tragic death. “Death on a live Wire” similarly involves a death, but unlike the accidental death of the boy
any “less” of a man, but many aspects greatly affect the outcomes of the following beliefs.

“Society is inside of man and man is inside society, and you cannot even create a truthfully drawn psychological entity on the stage until you understand his social relations and their power to make him what he is and to prevent him from being what he is not. The fish is in the water and the water is in the fish” (Miller, 47). Society forms a man, yet a man portrays the society. You cannot have one without the other as they are both connected and affected by each other. In the book Of Mice and Men

present. In Ken Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, one can see many misogynistic and sexist undertones. Big Nurse Ratched is in a position of authority over a large group of men and is seen as a tyrannical and unjust ruler.

The balance of power in the ward is never equal; it is either in the hands of women, or of men. Nurse

Hegemonic masculinity is a concept that is illuminated by Ten Responses to the Phrase “MAN UP” and “Do it for all your Pubic Hairs!”: Latino Boys, Masculinity, and Puberty, which identifies masculinity as a social construct influencing how one does their gender. Masculinity is a measure of a man’s social dominance and success and therefore is based on exaggerations of gender differences. Therefore, the more a man engages in masculine qualities and less in feminine qualities, the more accepted he will
Despite the rapid advancements in 21st century, the hierarchy of God, Angel, Man, Woman and Child is still maintained. The social conditions of women and children have not ameliorated at the same pace as the economic and scientific developments. Women and children are still the marginalized sections of our society. We haven’t yet completely done away with the need of change of name of a woman after marriage. A child is still known by his father’s name. Every day we read about the encounters of physical

undocumented citizen. For instance, in the chapter, "Geraldo No Last Name", Esperanza talks about a man named Geraldo, an illegal alien who is killed in a hit-and-run accident. There isn’t anything that the authorities can do as far as contacting his family, and not to mention some of the controversy that was happening within the hospital walls when the surgeons didn’t show up and help out the young man.
