Rebellion- The act of rising up against a higher power and resisting authority and control.
What I believe a rebellion is, is that a group of people are sick and tired of the ways that are controlling them and the people have decided to act, rise up and over throw the power that is controlling them.
In the book I'm currently reading, Catching Fire, the whole story is about a rebellion. In the previous book, The Hunger Games, the main character Katniss tried to out smart the Capitol (the government). By trying to take poisonous berries which would kill herself and her partner, Peeta, and there would be no victor for the Hunger Games that year. Now because Katniss tried to out smart the Capitol an uprising has begun all over the country(Panem) that was created by a rebellion, now it is happening again. Now that an uprising has happened in a District there has been a increase in security, ordered by the Capitol. The people of Panem are upset and are planning on starting a new rebellion to try and over throw the Capitol.
"I outsmarted his sadistic Hunger Games, made the Capitol look foolish, and consequently undermined his control. All I was doing was trying to keep Peeta and myself alive. Any act of rebellion was coincidental."
This quote explains the reason why the rebellion is taking place. Katniss had given her partner Peeta and herself a bundle of poisonous berries so that they could both rebel against the Capitol, so that they would have no victor for that years Hunger Games. This action showed that the Capitol can't control them and make them kill one another to show their sacrifice.
