Feedback January 19-23- Tyranny, Injustice and Self-determination

The word 'tyranny' means the abusive way of being ruled by one autocrat. Tyranny was shown in the book called Animal Farm by George Orwell when Farmer Jones ruled over the farm animals in his own abusive way that none of the animals liked. Therefore, the animals decided to overthrow the tyrant, Farmer Jones, as none of them wanted tyranny in the farm.
'Injustice' is used when something is not fair or does not seem right. In Animal Farm, the injustice was shown when Farmer Jones did not treat the animals fairly; he took all the things that animals produced and used for his own good, not for the animals. Also, he did not give the animals enough food for them to eat and used them to earn money for himself.
The definition for the word 'self-determination' is determining for themselves without any outside influences. It was shown in Animal Farm when the animals could decide what to do with the products they produce after overthrowing Farmer Jones. For example, when the animals decided to divide the food they harvested equally, it was self-determination.
