Powering Tyranny

In Night, Elie Wiesel discussed the dangers of remaining silent while injustices were happening in the world. Many stood by while millions of Jews were mistreated and murdered. 


In Animal Farm, we are noticing how the pigs on the farm are beginning to abuse their own power. 


Thomas Jefferson, the 3rd President of the United States, once said:


"All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent." 


Your task:


1.) Define the word tyranny 


2.) What does it mean to have a good conscience? 


3.) In your own words, what does this quote mean to you?
