What do you think of this part of my story?

I think this can be a good, book, it just needs some work. I had a lot of questions at the end of the passage such as: What was the "Rising"? Why is the "struggle" unwinnable? And where does the main character live? These are all questions that I think would totally make the story better, and help the reader understand and relate to the main character. But, aside from that, this story is really good! Happy writing!!! :D
