Analysis Of The Other Wes Moore

4.Wes Moore the author says that “I was taught to remember but never question. Wes was taught to forget, and never ask why.” Are these things different and if so how are they different? How do they point to differences in each of Wes’s upbringings? How might they connect to the differences in their outcomes?

I think that both of the quoted are different in a sense of how the played into both The author and the other Wes's futures. When the author was told to remember but never question, it makes sense because his mother wanted him to remember the things that he learned throughout his life but not to question the things he learned or wonder what would happen if that situation happened in a different way. For the other Wes, he was taught

to forget and never ask why; his mother didn't want him to remember all of the bad things that had happened during his life, and not ask why he was supposed to forget. I think he may have been told this because the bad his mother at heart wanted him to "beat the odds" of some of the situations that happened in his life. She didn't want him to end up like the other people in his family
