In “House of the Red Fish” some of the characters demonstrate loyalty, and it is a quality that makes them who they are. In chapter 13, Mr. and Mrs. Davies showed loyalty by caring.

The book, “The House of the Scorpion” by Nancy Farmer is a 3 time award winner and a fantastic novel in the genre of utopia and dystopia. Matt is a clone saved from the burden of having a blunted intelligence. Evidence from the book supports this was a faulty move.

Isn't that so, mi patrón?'" (109). This quote shows how, at first, Matt thinks that him being the clone of El Patrón means he has to, and should, be like him. He tries to impress him and tries to use the power that El Patrón has. This relates to how many people think where they come from defines them. For example, someone born into a family of criminals may not see the point in trying rise above it. They may not see that they have a choice to be

Loyalty is my number one value. It is applied each day even if you do not notice it. It seems a lot of people would like to do wrong rather than right and betray the people in their life then be loyal to them, being loyal is way less complicated and people will love you for it.
The world surrounding us is continuously in motion, but it is important to have some degree of consistency both in yourself and in those around you. I believe that loyalty is the act of remaining constantly honest and true to friends, family, and yourself. It is a key characteristic in creating meaningful relationships that are both long lasting and valuable. In my opinion, one of the worst feelings is being betrayed.

As a result, I have lost too many friends in acts of telling secrets and dishonesty. The course materials I have read both reinforced and challenged my belief in loyalty. The Shakespearian play King
