Song

Sixteen Tons
Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong

You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one mornin' when the sun didn'tshine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul"

You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middlename
I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion
Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line

You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

If you see me comin', better step aside
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If theright one don't a-get you
Then the left one will

You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

This would be Boxer’s favortite song. He was the hardest working animal in all the animal farm. He never stopped. The only way he was stopped was because of his injury. He dedicated allof his time to working even when everyone told him to stop he wouldn’t. He wanted to help everyone by working he was always commited and was caring for others.
“A poor man's made outta muscle and blood Muscle and blood and skin and bones A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong”. This part shows a description of Boxer. He was very strong. He would carry anything that he wanted. He was thestrongest on in the farm but unfortunately he was not so smart. Boxer believed anything anyone said. This horse did not have an opinion of his own. All that he did was obey and say anything he was asked to say. Boxer was not smart enough to realize what Napoleon was planning. If he had known and was smart enough. He could had overthrown Napoleon because he was not a good leader. Boxer also did nothave guts to step up to the pigs who were just using him and in the end they end up killing him. He did not have the courage to do what was right. He acts as if he did not know what was happening when he did know.

“You load sixteen tons, what do you get Another day older and deeper in debt Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company store” This quote of thesong really relates to Boxer. The horse was working so hard and was not getting anything in return. He just had to work for Napoleon. As if he owed him something. Napoleon did not really care about him or his well-being. By every time Boxer worked he got more tired but he refused to stop. He was, in a way being forced to work. He thought that by completing the windmill he would help everyone. Hemight had helped them by building it but when the pigs became crazy there was nothing and no one that could save them from the misery they were in.

Journal Entry

Today was a crazy day. Old Major told us about his dream. When he was talking to us and we were all hyped up he got shot. This really got me mad. This was not meant to be. Everyone was infuriated but they were also scared. All theanimals still want revolution. They also want to keep up with the plan in memory of Old Major. He would have wanted the revolution to happen. It’s the right thing to do. We all know it. The idea of all animals being equal is great. It’s going to help in a big way. This will change everything.

I am excited by this change and I am helping in any way I can. We had some rules to start this new life....
