                   " The Gift Outright " serves as history, narrative, metaphor and political statement. In server as both a reminder of he past and a call to action for the future.

                  Frost begins with no proper nouns to orient readers to his subject matter; the corporate and individual meanings of "we" and the land as " she ".

                 " We Were still Colonials " he sets the time. And the "we" of the poem in turn colonized the " her " the land itself, by inhibiting it without the responsibilities of possession.
