ReBels-

For me, rebels are people who never agree with the directives that are given to them by an authority like teachers or parents. They go against the system, against the rules, that are imposed on them like having to work and study the whole day, for instance. Instead of trying to discuss and negotiate with others and try to change it, they deliberately start breaking everything, start shouting, smoking, missing classes, with one only objective: confront the authority in order to make things even worse that they already are to show they are independent, powerful and are in control.

In everyone's life, there is a moment that you feel like acting such as rebels. There is a moment when everything is stressing you, when you disagree with everything that has to be done, is being saying or is imposed to you. A moment that you don't feel like hearing that you are doing it all wrong, that you don't deserve it, that you can't go to some place because of some reason... In my case, I feel like rebelling when my parents dont' allowed me to go out with friends and they just don't know why, they just don't want to, or when they judge me about something they don't even know !!! That stress me !!

We can topic some synonyms for a hero like ace, adventurer, champion, combatant, ideal, lion, model, master, paladin, victor, ton god, demigod, exemplar, gallant, daredevil... And for rebels too, such as freedom fighter, insurrectionist, insurgent and maverick.
We also find verbs that describe the actions of a rebel: combat, criticize, defy, denounce, disobey, dissent, drop out, fight, insurrect, make waves, mutiny, oppose, opt out, overthrow, renounce, resist, revolt, strike, turn against, upset...

Well, if we compare the words that are used for rebels and for heroes, we remark a big difference between them. In fact, the words assimilate to rebels are always negative, and always show the negative side of rebelling... I think we can discuss that; there are acts of rebellition and acts of rebelliton ! =) ! There are case when rebels insurge because they just want to, to get the authorithy on its nurves...
However, don't you think that some acts of rebellitions have another goal? I guess so, because there are rebellions which objective is just get things better, rebels that have a dream and are fighting for it because no one take with the serious this dream. To illustrate, I can name Che Guevara; he is undoubtedly a rebel because he fought against the system, but he foughts for a cause which was increase social inequalities in America and which sat, in the world. I think this transform him into a hero!!

Ok !! That's it...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See you guys tomorrow !! ( for the test.. oh no!! hehhe ))
