If I had to compare Robert Frosts' “Out Out” with A. E. Houseman’s “To An Athlete dying young” I would use the point-by-point method of comparison. I would first discuss how each poet views the children in the poem. In “Out Out” the speaker is indifferent about the death and everyone’s lives continue on as if nothing happened. In “To An Athlete dying young” I would discuss how the child obviously has died before his time and how the speaker is saddened by it but is still removed maybe as a member of the town but not a parent to the child. The second paragraph would be about the tone of each poem which links the second paragraph to the first because I would go into more detail about how the tones reflect how the authors feel about each of the children’s death but work more with the poetic devices and actual tone and tonal shifts in each of the poems.
