Tyranny is an unfair rule or dictatorship and one group or person has absolute power, usually by means of violence. Injustice is when someone is being treated unfairly or unequally. Self-determination is the want to rule oneself without any outside interference or influence.
In the book "Animal Farm" these three things are shown many times. The farmer Jones is a tyrant to the animals because they never get to do what they want. He treats them cruelly, makes them work till they have to energy, and forgets to give them food.
It shows injustice because the animals are treated unfairly with no time to rest, no food, lots of work, and for payment, they get killed for food.
Self-determination is shown because the animals are tired of the way they are being treated. They want freedom to do things they normally couldn't under the rule of the humans. When the farmer forgets to feed the animals one day, and the cow tries to get food from the house, the farmer gets really mad. The animals are fed up with the farmer and his workers and revolt against them. Once the farmer goes away, the animals are free to live the way they want. This is how the book shows examples of these terms.
