story could have been his.” This is how author Wes Moore describes the parallel life that he led with the other Wes Moore. I think that his statement is eerily accurate when you break it apart and dive into the crazy parallel lives that these two men led. “The chilling truth is that his story could have been mine.” The other Wes Moore grew up in practically the same neighborhood as the author Wes Moore… yet their lives ended up so different. Both Moores lived in Baltimore‚ in neighborhoods with lower

In The Other Wes Moore by Wes Moore. Moore states‚ “The chilling truth is that his story could have been mine. The tragedy is that my story could have been his” (180). In my opinion‚ this statement is true‚ depending on how people interpret it. I see it as yes‚ it is a tragedy that Wes II did not end up a successful man as Wes I did. However‚ they both had turning points that could have drastically changed their fates. The only difference was that Wes I had more people helping sculpt him into a wonderful

The quote that stood out to me the most is‚ “I was raised to think we are

She saw school as one of the few places where Wes could not be involved with drugs‚ to an extent. Unlike Mary‚ Joy sent Wes Moore off to a prep military academy when
