Tyranny, Justice, and Self- Determination

Tyranny is the abuse of authority, this relates well to Mr.Jones in Animal Farm. On page six, in Animal Farm, Major speaks about how Mr.Jones is useless. He says that Mr.Jones forces the animals to work and gives them only the minimum amount of food and water to keep them healthy to work the next day. We can from what Major says that Mr.Jones is stealing the produces the animals produce and keeping it for himself. This shows that he is a tyrant because of the way he chooses himself over the animals.

Justice is to punish someone/something for what they did. The justice served on Mr.Jones was in some ways alright because of the way Mr.Jones had been treating the animals. Since he had left the animals without food for a long time and had forced them to work without giving them much in return the animals called for justice. In conclusion, the animals had the right to justice because of the awful way Mr.Jones and his men had treated them.

Self-determination is the freedom to do as one wants; self-determination is also a big characteristic within the animals. The animals wanted to take over the farm so they could choose how to distribute the food and water. They also wanted the right to choose how they worked, when they worked and when they took breaks. In order to have the right over these things they needed to over throw Mr.Jones. As you can tell self-determination is a big part of animal farm because self determination is what the animals wanted to come of the rebellion.
