April 14, 2013 Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates
After every conversation, my head is continuously nodding up and down attracting the intention of my English professor. It’s almost one hour of the class and I am trying my best to be safe, since I haven’t done finishing the reading the last chapter of the book "The other Wes Moore". The discussion in the class had made me more excited to finish the last conclusion of the two people with same name but different lifestyle. However, once I finished reading it is easily understandable that if someone focuses on studies and their future leaving crime world, they can be successful and can fulfill their entire requirement. The book "The other Wes Moore", tells "the story of two boys living in Baltimore" who shares a similar life history within the "same black community", in addition to having identical names. Written by Wes Moore, it recounts the real life stories of the two "Wes Moores", the different journeys and destinies of their life. One Wes Moore ends up as a "phi beta kappa graduate of the John Hopkins University", a "white house fellow", an "army officer" and as the co-author of the book. The "other Wes Moore" ends up as a thief, drug dealer and "a convicted killer"; a sharp difference in comparison to the life of the Wes Moore. As can be seen in the book, it is not luck that determines their different fates in life, but rather a number of factors that could also ensure other African Americans succeed as opposed to failing in life. Moreover, the choice of factors and the way of utilizing them of the author Wes Moore were different compared to the other Wes Moore.
Although, both the author Wes and the other Wes had bad experience in school at their small age, as they grew up the similarities soon became apart in the area of education. Education is an imperative to future success as is seen in the life of the author Wes Moore. The positive
