Loyalty has always been seen as a commendable trait, not only in human beings but in any creature, all through history. Soldiers have admired their enemies for their loyalty to fallen comrades, thousands of stories have been written about the intense loyalty animals portray for their owners, and even companies in the workforce look for loyalty in potential employees. Loyalty has been seen as something that distinguishes the trustworthy from the untrustworthy, and something that sets the great apart from the good. The archetypal hero commonly has a cause, whether it be another person or personal beliefs, that they are loyal to, and this unwavering loyalty is what makes them appear so highly in the eyes of the reader. Loyalty can be found in practically any work of literature, but within The Torah, The Odyssey, and Inanna is the idea that true loyalty, although a rare attribute, is the key to a successful relationship.

After doing the presentation on Dr. Seuss and this book, I also found that this book was speculated to be written around the book, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. I also knew that they had the same characters, but I didn't read that this book was morphed into One Fish; I think that would be a very interesting speculation. As you stated though, the book was nearly finished so that would be hard to prove. Onto the other part of your post, I think you raise a very important question whether or not we were ready for the What Pet Should I Get book. We will never know if we were truly ready for this book, but I think that it does show how Dr. Seuss was ready to acknowledge these injustices way back in 1960. That is pretty crazy to think about.
Not everyone possesses the quality of loyalty, but those that do are worth having a relationship with. The author of Cue for Treason, Geoffry Trease, demonstrates this trait in many of the characters. The most loyal bond in this book, which took place very early on in the novel, was Peter and Kit’s. One of the most significant bonds has to be amongst the Secret Agents, the Queen, and all of England. Lastly, the most heroic form of loyalty is portrayed by Tom Boyd, Peter, and Kit. Each one of these characters do not betray each other once. So, several characters in the novel show loyalty to one another throughout.

With the metaphor “your inner fish,” what is really being captured is the notion that every part of our body, in every organ, tissue, cell and gene, in some way we contain over three and a half billion years of history of life.

Understanding why we are put together the way we are, which involves understanding the bodies, embryos, DNA and fossils about the creatures.This chapter consisted of the newly discovered specimen. Particularly how these creatures were steadily developing from land to water. This revelation showed how fish can advance into something much greater after some time.
