Tyranny, Injustice, and Self-Determination

Tyranny is when there is someone that rules through the means of threatening, and violence and has the central power. Injustice is when someone is being treated unfairly, and unlike others. Self-Determination is when one person wants to take rule and take over. In the book 'Animal Farm' all these things are being shown. Their farmer, Jones, is being a tyrant because he is taking rule of the animals without them having any choice to do otherwise. He makes them work, and at times forgets to bring them food. The animals are treated harshly, and this resulted in their plans of taking him down. This book also shows Injustice because the animals need to work all day, and some days food is not provided. The animals need to be treated equally as humans. Have time to rest, good food, and not needing to work all day. Also, Self-Determination is shown because the animals on the farm want to take Jones down. They decide that its time for a new revolution, a new rule so they can have their freedom to do what they want most. Some animals think that over-ruling Jones would be horrible because no one would be providing them food, but the animals clarify that their lives would be better with the human gone. All this tyranny, and injustice had lead the animals to the wanting of self-determination.
