The Rebel(Poem) Summary
“The Rebel“ is a lightly expressed poem written in a casual
style free of any bitterness or criticism. The poet shows the
character of rebel. One who does not conform to the norms of
society and has a contradictory attitude based on self-assertion.
This is not typically a political rebel who wants a revolution in
the country; but this is a common adolescent boy who, for his
inexperience, exhibits himself so as to draw attention. The poet
lists various contradictory activities of the rebel. He says that
when every body has short hair, the rebel grows his hair long and
when long hair is in, the rebel cuts his hair short. He stays
silent in the lesson when every one is discussing a matter; but
when it is time for general discussion, the rebel remains attentive
to the teacher and does not participate in the discussion. When
people wear uniforms, he puts on showy dresses and when people wear
colorful dresses, he does the opposite. In the company of cat
lovers, he prefers dogs and in the company of dogs, he prefers the
otherwise. When it is the general desire for rain, he necessitates
the importance of sun and when people want the sunbath, he goes for
rain. When others attend meetings, he stays home and when others
stay home, he attends meetings. He says “Yes” when he should say
“No” ; but says “No” when he should say “Yes”. In short, each
action of the rebel is stimulated by self-exhibition and
inexperienced attitude of adolescence. The poet has remarkably
described the non-conformist behaviour of the rebel in a light,
funny, and casual manner. The poet says that the individual freedom
is very important and we must learn to accept it in society. No two
persons can be equal. The poet also says that such people in
society do exist but we must have a soft corner for them; but we
should not become like them. Questions/Answers 1. Answer the
following questions. (i) If someone doesn’t wear a uniform to
school, what do you think the teacher will say? (ii) When everyone
wants a clear sky, what does the rebel want most? (iii) If the
rebel has a dog for a pet, what is everyone else likely to have?
(iv) Why is it good to have rebels? (v) Why is it not good to be a
rebel oneself? (vi) Would you like to be a rebel? If yes, why? If
not, why not? Ans: (i) The teacher will ask him/her about the
reason for not being in uniform and then takes action according to
the reply. (ii) When everyone wants a clear sky, the rebel wants
rain the most. (iii) If the rebel has a dog for a pet, then
everyone else is likely to have a cat.
-
(iv) It is good to have rebels because very few people have the
power to oppose the decision of the majority. They think
differently and fearlessly stand with their choices which can be
beneficial. (v) It is not good to rebel oneself because no one will
like you. It keeps you apart from the people and they will be like
enemy for you. (vi) No, I would not like to be a rebel because i
don’t have the guts to opposes the majority and moreover i can’t
hurt the feelings of the people. I don’t want to be a source of
bitterness among the people. Page No: 35 2. Find in the poem an

If certain abbreviations begin with avowel sound though they
have consonants at the beginning,we write an before them. Examples:

vowel sound.),an MA, an MLA The article a is often used with
particular phrases. Examples: a noise a pity a pleasure a headache
in a hurry a pain a stomachache in aloud voice a nuisance Use of
