4 read this excerpt from robert frost’s “out, out—.” which threee three pick three! characteristics of narrative poetry does it contain?

the buzz saw snarled and rattled in the yard
and made dust and dropped stove-length sticks of wood,
sweet-scented stuff when the breeze drew across it.
and from there those that lifted eyes could count
five mountain ranges one behind the other
under the sunset far into vermont.
and the saw snarled and rattled, snarled and rattled,
as it ran light, or had to bear a load.
and nothing happened: day was all but done.
call it a day, i wish they might have said
to the boy by giving him the half hour
that a boy counts so much when saved from work.
his sister stood beside him in her apron
to tell them ‘supper.’ at the word, the saw,
as if to prove saws knew what supper meant,
leaped out at the boy’s hand, or seemed to leap—
he must have given the hand. however it was,
neither refused the meeting. but the hand!
