I was thinking a little more about “The Rebellion” yesterday, and there was something I realized I wanted to clarify about the poem.
What I really liked about “The Rebellion” was the way the rhythm and rhyme worked together to make the poem flow well. I also liked the theme, which to me was discussing a Christian’s perseverance to remain faithful in a culture that is contrary to Christian values. However, as I thought about it more, I realized the poem could also be interpreted as a description of a literal rebellion against institutions and the government, which is something I do not support nor find as something Christ taught.
Like I said before, this isn’t really how I interpreted the poem, but could you outline the theme for me a little more anyways?
