Comparing/Contrasting Wes Moore, the author, with the other Wes Moore

After finishing chapter one, compare/contrast Wes Moore, the author, with the other Wes Moore. Reveal a minimum of three similarities/differences.

93 comments:

  1. Similarities: 1) Both were innocent children faced with heavy life-changing responsibilities that they cannot comprehend.
    2) Both had respectable mothers with an eerie choice in violent, irresponsible men at the beginning of their relationships.
    3) Both will grow up without a male figure.

    Differences: 1) One had the responsibility of filling up what his father left. The other has the responsibility of knowing that his father has died, and that he will be without him.
    2) One of the mother found a loving husband that found his fate. The other mother has found independence and strength within her self.
    3) One has never felt the true essence of creating a bond and then finding it broken in an instant. The other has never felt what it's like to truly be abandoned.

  43. Even though the author Wes Moore and the prison Wes have some similarities like sharing name and grew up in same place Baltimore, they have differences in at least three aspects such as personality of their mom, a person of dad, and their fates.
    Joy, the author's mother was very discipline. She was always fussy at Wes when he did something wrong, especially hitting Nikki, his older sister. This could be haunting her in retrospect she was abuse by her ex-husband. In contrast, Mary, the prison Wes's mom was not mature that made the prison Wes feel he had to take care of her. He was always question her for whatever she said or did. She chose partying, fun, dancing, being noticed by men and noticing them back over watching the kids.
    Another difference was about a person of dad. The author Wes's dad was very gentle, loving, and care for his family. He taught Wes what was right from wrong while the prison's dad Bernard was loud, rude, alcoholic, and abusive men. He did not take care for Mary and the boys.
    Last, their fates are totally different. One becomes a good person as police officer, the author, a social entrepreneur with a bright life when the other one is a prison in charge for armed robber. His life is dark and ending behind bars.

    This book is meant to show how, for those of us
    who live in the most precarious places in this
    country, our destinies can be determined by a si
    ngle stumble down the wrong path, or a tentative
    step down the right one.One went on to be a Rhodes Scholar, decorated combat veteran White House Fellow and business leader.At each
    stage of their young lives they had come across
    similar moments of decision!! yet their choices
    and the people in their lives would lead them to astonishingly different destinies.
    Hope this way better .
