tyranny is when a leader rules the nation with to much power and that is what happens in the book. Mr Jones rules over the animals as a tyrant with to much power not treating his animals well, like in page 5 were Major explains how the farmer rules "The life of an animals misery and slavery" also in page 9 during the song they sing " Tyrannt man shall be overthrown." Injustice means that not everyone gets treated the same someone is always treated better in one way or the other. there is alot of injustice in the book at the beginning since the farm has so much food but the animals are still under fed. This is shown in the book in page 6 where major talks about the injustice of man stealing the food they worked for " Man is the only creature to consume without producing." Injustice is also shown when the pigs decide they should get all the apples and milk for them selves " You dont imagine we pigs are doing this in spirit of hope and selfishness" pg 25 Self-Determination is wanting to have the right to make choices for them selves and that is exactly what the animals want to do with the farm by getting rid of farmer Jones. LIke in page 9 durong the son the y say " England shall be trod by beast alone.

Paolo, I think that this is a very interesting and well structured blog posting. You set the scene pretty well by giving good definitionsthat make sense in "8th grade speak." Then, you followed up with strong supporting quotes that made sense in the situation. Throughout the entire posting, you tied all the ideas together, using animal farm as a basis. I found myself wondering, however, if the basic connection between the those three words can be drawn in other allegorical books? One thing I thought that you could have made a little clearer was the connection that is implied, maybe devoted a few sentences to it? But overall, great job and great posting.
