Question:Factory workers often created music that served as a form of protest and a way to get them through the long hours of the workday. After reading the lyrics from the "Song of the Shirt", describe what life must have been like for these textile factory workers.
Answer: Their exhausted they worked for hours till their bodies couldn't take anymore, but they would still have to work as long as the boss wanted them too. Then seem like their falling apart, emotionally and physically she says her fingers were worn down. She's hungry, and sad working their tails off sweat dripping off theirs bodies. And thinking humans live so cheap. With her singing this song throughout the day this would keep her going giving her hope as to see the day of being free.
