In the book the little blue fish wanted 1 of the rainbows fish scales but he was being selfish and said no and swam away. He noticed everyone was not liking and interested in him anymore.

The examples explain about sharing. In the beginning, he would not share with all the other fishes and they started to dislike him because he was being selfish by keeping it all for himself.

You make more friends by being nice. After he shared al the fishes liked him.
My second topic sentence is selfishness. In the book the rainbow fish was being selfish by not sharing his scales with the other fish. Since this was his decision all the fish started to dislike him. In the book a fish asked him for 1 of his rainbow scales. But the selfish fish said no and swam away. He realized how he was being mean and selfish so he went to multiple people for help. The answer was sharing his scales with the other fish. He did just that, and the fish liked him again.

He got what he deserved for being rude and selfish. As you see in this book if you share then you will receive more friends. He was being selfish in the beginning of the book but he noticed and made up for his mistake by sharing with all his friends.
My third topic sentence is friendship. Just think if you don’t have friends you will have no one to talk to, you will be all alone. I know I would not want to be all alone with no friends. In this story, it shows friendship a lot. In the beginning of the book he would not share his scales because he was being selfish. If he did not make up for saying no the fishes would probably not have become his friends again. When he would not share with the other fishes they all got upset and mad. They were not going to be his friend again because of the rainbow fish choices. But then he gave everyone his scales then they were his friend again. this is important because if he would not have shared at the end of the book then he would not had been friends with him. He would have kept being ignored. Therefore, friendship is key so you will have someone to look to for help or someone to talk to whenever you need too. People take friend ship for

The speaker becomes more involved. “I thought,” “I looked,” “I admired,” all produce a more active role on the part of the speaker. The turning point in the poem that triggers this alteration seems to be when the reader realizes that the fish is in fact still alive. “While his gills were breathing” (line 22) is the first action given to the fish and the first time he is addressed as a living thing.…

When he says only for those who will seek it he means only those of which will do as he did and stand up against…
