Wes Moore's The Other

The story The Other Wes Moore talks about two African American boys who never met each other but grew up almost the same . Both were fatherless , poor , and had very strict mothers. While growing up in Brooklyn there are a few opportunities you receive to have a good life. I should know from experiences. Growing up with strict parents is almost like getting raised with a police scanner on you 24/7; you have to do everything by the book: eat right , sleep right , and talk right. It can be pretty annoying but its for a very good cause.
Now both of their mothers weren't the same. One was very strict and wanted everything done by the book and the other had her own trouble. She was dealing with her drug problems and her boyfriend who kept giving

her the drugs. And it wasn't any easy or soft drugs like weed; this was hardcore drugs that its seemed like she couldn't live without. Most of the time she didn't realized her son was there or didn't care at the time. The other Wes Moore's mother, even though being poor, tried her hardest trying to teach him to be classy, such as how to properly dress, how to eat right, and to never steal or do any drugs, it was a very tough thing to do especially while growing up in the harsh streets of Brooklyn NY in the late 1990s.
As of now the both of these boys are grown up and living their life. One has a Nobel prize and is a very successful man who can raise his kids in a nice area without any worries. The other is rotting in prison for murder and can never see the light of day again all because of a jewelry store robbery gone wrong. Now from my brief summary of the two boys can you guess who is whom?

As a mother you should always want to see your child do excellent you don't want to hear there out in the streets doing his and doing that. Why would you have a child if your not ready for the responabiltys of bringing a child into this world espelly knowing where you live and the type of people you live around. You can just sit around and have your child try and raise their self you have to take action what not to do and what to do.
