Reflection Relating back to Animal Farm

During chapter four through six in Animal Farm tyranny, injustice and self determination are seen during the lead up and after the revolt of the animals. Tyranny which is unrestrained or excessive rein of power is seen through Mr Jones the owner of Manor farm who had control over the animals and is able to work, feed and treat them as he pleases. He was not restrained in any way as the animals were unable to retaliate to the same extent and as he was the owner of the farm no other worker could question his judgment. Quoted from Major the pig "Let us face it: our lives are miserable, laborious and short. We are born, we are given just so much food as will keep the breath in our bodies and those of us capable of it are forced to work to the last atom of our strength" You can see that major believes that Mr Jone is a tyrant. Injustice which is violation of the rights of others can also be seen through this same quote on page 5 as major questions his life and his right as a basic human being/animal. It is for shown though out the chapter that the animals feel they are unjustly treated by Mr Jones on several occasions when they talk about being whipped and being born only for death. The animals show self determination which is determination by one self without outside influence when they revolt against Mr Jones and overthrow him as the owner of the farm. Self determination is seen most vividly when the animals set down there laws by which they are going to govern the farm which are as follows 1. four legs good two legs bad 2. No animal shall wear clothes 3. No animal shall sleep in bed 4. No animal shall drink alcohol 5. No animal shall kill any other animal 7. All animals are equal pg 18. As seen throughout these chapters the animals show many human characteristics through these three actions, tyranny, self determination and injustice.
