I need some assistance with these assignment. the other wes moore: one name, two fates Thank you in advance for the help! The author had just been offered a scholarship and the story was run in the paper, the same paper ran a story of the other Wes Moore from a similar neighborhood and had assaulted a police officer and was on the run after his friends had been arrested. After the author had read the story and was intrigued by the way their names were similar, and the intrigue got wider from the fact that they were not just sharing names but were also sharing space in the same paper. The kinds of childhood that the two individuals had outstanding similarities and after the author had followed the story about the other Wes Moore. he wrote down a letter to the latter who was now serving a life sentence in prison and the kinds of letters that were exchanged between the two are what inspired the story because the author could now join the dots and was fully aware of the kind of life the Prisoner Wes had been subjected to while growing up. (pg 12) The story is told dramatically to capture all the aspects of losses and redemptions from the perspective of African American boys trying to make it through a hostile world. The boys both grew up in fatherless families, had difficulties maintaining school attendance, had experienced trouble with the police at several occasions, had a habit of keeping the same company in similar corners and both had a feeling that a better life was somewhere beyond their reach. As they were both growing up, they had been faced with a moment in time when they had to make outstanding decisions that would greatly impact their lives forever and alter their fates for the best or worst. The author has always made it clear that the intention was not to draw a distinction between a good Wes Moore and a bad Wes Moore, but aimed at showing the similarities shared between the two and to appear as a mirror to which the rest of African American society youths could view themselves.&nbsp.
