Rebel & Anger

Both of them are very powerful words which represent deep, dark emotions of human beings.

Everyone rebels some time (sometimes without even noticing it). Every each rebellion has some meaning. Even the smallest revolt against the system has its impact. These fightings help to improve individuals' characters by pushing out their limits and making them stronger. People mostly rebel against something which they don't really agree with. They show how do they differ from others by showing off themselves in different way, behaving, think, act differently. They simply don't belong to the certain group anymore. I wasn't really a rebel, my own rebellion happened mostly through expressing my own ideas in a rude, intense manner, listening to non-commerce music.   

Anger is present in everyone, in one way or another, they occasionally express it too. The word itself immediately reminds me the Metallica song: St. Anger. For me, anger helps me to get rid of inner tension and stress, mostly during some physical activities. This relief helps me to even the balance of my personality, to achieve my inner peace. Anger of course usually get people behind bars, because of the lack of this control.

I'm madly in anger with you
I'm madly in anger with you
I'm madly in anger with you
I'm madly in anger with you

and I want my anger to be healthy
and I want my anger just for me
and I need my anger not to control
yeah, and I want my anger to be me

and I need to set my anger free
and I need to set my anger free
and I need to set my anger free
and I need to set my anger free

Metallica - St. Anger

Lord of the Rings

This epic saga was one of my earliest literary influences. My memories are slightly blury, but if I remember well, I read the book in first year of high school, a way before the movies were released. The version I own is the one translated by Göncz Árpád, from 1970's.

Since LOTR was Tolkien's lifetime work, everything is precisely aranged: a catchy story, which is intense from the very beginning, detailed descriptions, strong characters... I could literally feel the emotions through vivid images, simply by reading the lines. The only difficulty during the reading was the lack of knowledge of archaic vocabulary, but when I got used to it, it disappeared.

I usually visualized the story and the characters in a totally different way as directors of movies do, but in case of L.O.T.R., thanks to Tolkien's style of writing, it was surprisingly similar. The movies made the author's works even more popular all around the world.
