In my opinion, tyranny is when a king/person takes control over a country, without any vote, it's sort of like when a person comes out of the blues and decides to take over a country. Injustice is when a country or person or object is thought of smaller or less able than everybody else, and hence they are treated differently, or in an unfair manner. Self-Determination is when a country wants to be individual, and just be able to handle their problems by them selves. A couple of examples of tyranny, injustice, and self-determination is located right in our book called Animal Farm. One very clear show of tyranny is when the major,comes "out of the blues" and shows that all humans are bad because they use the animals' resources to feed them selves. For Example, the major stated that, the hens could have laid so many more chicken if the humans had not eaten them away(pg.3). More than tyranny there are many more forms of Injustice in the piece of writing that we had. For example, everybody might not like the major, everybody might not like the way they have to look at it. For Example there is Clover who acts like a spy because he is the closest to Farmer Jones and what if he finds that farmer Jones isn't that bad, but still he has to stick up for them...

Save Me, God, Save Everybody...
BARROOM! BARROOM!
The sounds of the rifles pierce through my ear,
Is this a dream? Am I really in a war?
SWISH!
A strong burst of air brushes onto my cheek
Ten seconds later…
BOOM!
An artillery smashes into our reserve trench
I guess that answers my question,
I guess I AM in a war,
I guess
I'm in the First World War
It's my turn next…
My turn to hop
Over the top
To try
Knowing that I'll die
But still
At least I could kill
Someone from the other side
What will happen to my children?
Will they take the tormenting?
Terrorizing,
And torturing
Agony?
Or will they just die?
Will I just die?
Will everybody just die?
….Is this…..
PEEEEEEEPPPP!!
Air bursts out of the captain's whistle
Time to go…
out into the violent wrestle
God,
Save me….
Save everybody…
