REBELrebellion
“Live life more intensely. Be more passionate, fiery, tender. Achieve this, and your own life will be more meaningful, more full, more profound.”
Enda Duffy
This was presented in our syllabus in the beginning of the quarter. Professor Duffy wanted us to find what is presented above through the literature in class. The main topic I highly was attracted to was rebellion. Rebellion is given somewhat of a bad rep, but when we take advantage of our own lives and live it in our own accordance, life can be that much more meaningful. We can find our own identity and live our lives intensely. Through the songs, passages and movie scene that was presented, the studies I found to support rebellion as a means to find self-identity showed that it can be correlational. Finding an identity is an important aspect of life and by rebelling against a dull life, it can push us to new places that makes us truly test ourselves in different experiences. Rebelling against the social structure during emerging adulthood can shape ourselves to push us to show what we are truly capable of being and thus capable of doing when we are presented with life situations. Through rebellion we can live life more intensely, be more passionate, fiery, tender and make life more meaningful, full and more profound.
It all makes sense, literature can suggest living a life more intensely by focusing on the high points, on the turning points where life changes. Through literature, we can be enriched and build our own guidelines for how our own lives are meant to be lived. Rebellion, presented through Jane Eyre and Robinson Crusoe, Almost Famous, Trainspotting and the songs show us that an unconventional lifestyle can be lived in order to give more meaning to a dull, middle class, confined lifestyle.
Life is full of adventure, we must rebel against social construction and make our own life.
We must not be boring. We must write our own stories by living out our lives out of the middle class.
