Loyalty is very strong and very meaningful, like true love or brotherhood. Loyalty has to be earned, not just given away. In The Odyssey, the epic poem by Homer, Odysseus’ crew is steadfastly loyal to him and follow nearly his every direction, even though they are given many reasons not to be. Although Odysseus occasionally does something for the short-term benefit of his crew, he does not deserve their loyalty because he does not sincerely care about them, trust them, or listen to them.

The book “Forged by Fire” by Sharon M. Draper is a book with many themes and lessons we all can learn. One of the themes that this essay will talk about will be about loyalty. Loyalty is something that comes from inside of a person to have faith in someone. We are all loyal to someone, someone who’s special in our lives and plays a major role in our lives that drags us to support them no matter what. In this book, Gerald gets abused by his drunk father. He wants to get rid of him, but Monique, the mother is very loyal to Jordan and defends him. This makes Gerald’s life miserable, and the only thing that brings a smile to his face is his step-sister, Angel, whom he possessively cares for.

One example on loyalty is from Inigo’s backstory when his father was killed. “I, Inigo Montoya do challenge you, coward, pig, killer, ass, fool to a battle”(page 132) After Domingo died, Inigo tried to fight the six fingered man, and even though he is only 10 years old and so smol, he does not hesitate to fight this man because he loved his father in their own weird way. This is important because from the very beginning it sets up Inigo's main plot line for the rest of the story, his purpose is essentially to train and then find and beat this man. Another example is from Fezziks backstory and helps to begin his plot line. Fezzik was a wrestler and he didn't want to but his parents believed it was best for him and the family. “Fezzik, as always, obeyed” (page 157) This line kinda represents most of what Fezzik does throughout the story. In this case, he does not want to fight but he is loyal to his parents, later on, he does the same thing with Vizzini. Fezzik is like a small child or dog, if he believes in a person he will unconditionally be loyal to them. A third example involves Buttercup and Westley, “Buttercup hesitated not a

Betrayal itself is a hard thing to experience, but it 's even worse when it 's coming from someone you trusted and loved the most. There is a famous saying that, “Sometimes, the person you’d take a bullet for ends up being the one behind the gun.” Betrayal not only results in hatred from the other person, but also losing trust and making you considered as a treacherous person. This concept is clearly visible in S.E Hinton 's acclaimed novel, when Bryon in a blink of moment decided to call the cops on his best friend, Mark.

Betrayal, as defined by The American Heritage Dictionary means “To be false, disloyal, deceitful, or to lead astray.” People have betrayed others since the beginning of humanity. Commonly, the act of betrayal is learned at an early age. For instance, when someone acts kindly to another person and then says nasty things behind their back, or “backstabbing” as some people would call it. Betrayal also takes many other forms, whether it be through spreading rumors, a man or woman cheating on their significant other, or someone blatantly lying to another person. A person can even betray their own selves if they let a wrongdoing fester for a long enough time without redeeming themselves of their acts. Jealousy is one cause that may make a person betray someone, but cowardice can also be a strong cause that would lead someone to betray another person, because the fear of someone a person loves being strongly upset with them can get in the way of treating another person properly.

In Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner, it tells the story of Amir and how he betrays his best friend just because he doesn't want to deal with the reality of the situation. His acts of betrayal also come back and haunt him but, instead of letting them get to him, he uses them as a reason to try and redeem himself. Both of these stories show how acts of betrayal
