Tyranny, injustice, and self-determintation in Animal Farm

Tyranny- The way someone or something rules a society usually by force and or power
Injustice- the opposite of right or something that is wrong usually committed through a action
Self-determination- the ability to shape ones own future without influence

I think that these words contribute to animal farm greatly because first the animals feel they are being ruled in a tyranny because farmer Jones always locked them up and made them do chores. Second the animals felt like they were being treated unjustly and were being forced to do what farmer Jones wanted to make them do even if they didn't want to do it. And last the animals wanted to be able to live there own life's without having to be told what to do and to appoint their own leader.

The Trench

Life in the trenches was never easy,

Our first attack was hard

And the night after was even harder

We had guards up night and day

Waiting for that one moment when

All would turn to chaos like the sea when a hurricane hits

One day the captain told us to line up

We all knew it would come sooner or later

The over the top attack or as we called it “Running from the Devil”

My squad was lucky; we got to take a side trail,

It eventually leads up to no-man’s land, and was still dangerous

But hay it was better than having to hop up to hell

We fought and fought for what seemed like months,

I started to notice that the enemy was dropping back, yes what a relief

Then I turn around to witness what I had forgotten

We had lost men too, and were also moving back

“Would it always be like this, never ending like the sea of stars we look up at every night” I thought

And so with my last reserve of energy left I start the long walk back to the Trench
