He straightened up To drink it, then fell to right away
This line to me is the definition of a hardworking man. A man that is so committed to what he is doing ,even though he doesn't enjoy it. When I picture this old man I see someone who has been working hard for their whole entire life. Someone who has started out with nothing, and worked hard to make something of themselves. He seems to be a man that doesn't want to waste time, this is why he takes a drink and then goes right back to working. He is also trying to show his grandson that work should be taking seriously, and there is no time for taking breaks, or play time when you become a hardworking adult. I also believe that this old man has become so used to working that he doesn't know when to stop, even when he physically knows he is tired and needs a break. I also believe this line is significant, because it shows how important work was to him, even after straightened up and drunk some nice cold milk, he still was strong enough to fall back down and continue to dig. This line overall is the definition of someone strong and very committed to work, to the point in which nothing else matters in the world.
