Tyranny, Injustice, Self-Determination

Tyranny- the rule of someone else, like a bad government.
Injustice - the rights of someone else being violated by a person of authority.
Self-Determination - Motivating yourself to do something.

Tyranny, injustice, and self-determination are used in the book, Animal Farm. Self-determination is used by Old Major, because he's the one who told everyone that the humans are bad, and he motivated everyone to go against them. Tyranny is also there when Old Major was saying his speech about how the humans take things away from the animals that aren't his, and that he is not meant to have, for example milk and eggs. Injustice, because the animals have the right to live, and do what they want, not to live under someone, and live your life working for them. As you can see,
tyranny, injustice, and self-determination are all in the book.

WWI Poem

Shooting, screaming,

Gun at hand,

Nowhere is safe.

So scared, no one is fleeing;

War is in demand.

Damage, damage, so much to repair,

Chaos, panic everywhere,

Too much despair.

Deep, deep very deep, in trenches,

The guy next to you drenches,

Drenches in his own blood,

So soon, that it might just flood.

Here, there, everywhere,

Peek, sneak, not a glare.

Now who would call this fair?

It’s like a cage…

No way out

Now watch out!

A riffle, pistol, and gun

Nowhere to be seen, is fun.

Too scared to run.

Weapon in hand,

War in demand,

Countries that mix,

Are now in a big fix.

Here, there, everywhere,

Signs that you see,

Try to persuade,

For you to be,

Involved in the war.
