Tyranny, Injustice, and Self-Determination

Tyranny-when someone abuses their power
Injustice- when someone acts unfairly
Self Determination- to do an action without anyone else's opinion

In the book, Animal Farm, these three terms are used. Tyranny is used when Farmer Jones uses his power to torture the animals to do whatever he wants them to. He abuses his authority which leads to him being unjust (injustice). He acts unfairly by not giving the animals less food than they need and killing them when they become weak and cannot work anymore. Self-determination is used when the animals are determined to begin the Rebellion and overthrow Mr. Jones. The animals become strong and are determined to live better lives. This is how tyranny, injustice, and self-determination are used in Animal Farm.
