About tyranny, injustice, and self-determination

Tyranny means to have absolute power executed unjustly. Tyranny relates to the book because farmer Jones takes all the milk from the cows without letting them drink any of it, all the eggs from the chickens without one of the eggs becoming a chick, and all the energy from the horses to plow the fields instead of plowing it himself. Injustice means violation of the rights of others. It relates to the book the same way of how tyranny does, farmer Jones is treating the animals very badly. Self-determination means without outside influence. This word relates to the book because even though Old Major died, the words he said before he died started the revaluation between farmer Jones and the animals.
