The Other Wes Moore depicts the transformation of two boys who shared many of the same circumstances, and were born into fairly congruent life conditions. Both Wes’ share a name, a family situation, and an upbringing; both lacked fathers and grew up in very similar neighborhoods. After becoming fascinated by an inmate’s seemingly familiar story, the author - Wes Moore - writes a story that shows the juxtaposition of their lives. While many things were similar, throughout the novel we see the exploration of social and cultural influences at work. Through the stories of both Wes Moores, the author paints a powerful pictures concerning how the choices each man made affected his future.

One reason Wesley changed the most in Sleeping Freshmen Never Lie was because when he decides to become friends with Scott, he starts to try and help Scott instead of bullying him and stealing from him.

His behavior was getting out of control as well. It was like a flip of a switch that set him off. When he was punched in the face by a smaller guy in front of his friends. He ran home and was wiping his lip off from the blood that was there. He was in the kitchen and was looking for a knife as a result of remembering what Tony said “If someone disrespects you, you send a message so fierce that they won’t have the chance to do it again” (Moore 33). Woody knew that Wes took it to heart and was trying to divert his attention. To no avail, he was already outside where the group was hanging out not knowing the cops were there. I Moreover, we shouldn’t become someone who we are not.

In the text, the intrinsic factor that most influences the author is perseverance, while the intrinsic factor that most influences Wes is motivation. Early in the book we find out that the author’s father died and that his mother wasn’t “coping well with her husband’s death” she was “losing her grip.” (Moore, 37) And very soon after she’d realized that she moved everyone from Maryland to the Bronx in New York. The author was “apprehensive about moving away from my (his) friends, from the only world I’d (he’d) known.” (Moore, 38)  But still after his father’s death and moving so quickly from Maryland he was motivated and tried his best and later went on to do big things despite what would effect a lot of kids’ attitude on life. The intrinsic factor that affected Wes was motivation. He lacked motivation to be a better person even after he was arrested for carrying a knife to “send a message” (Moore, 34) to a kid who tried to mess with him and after “Tony tried to keep Wes in school and away from the drug game for as long as Wes could remember” (Moore, 71) But Wes continued to deal drugs and get arrested for trying to assault a person (and other reasons). These intrinsic factors are about the same thing but the author didn’t let obstacles get in the way of perseverance and Wes lacked in

Nick, the narrator throughout the book, experiences changes but not as many as other characters. Nick was a shy

Author Wes had many role models presented to him that gave him a representation of what correct path he should take in life. As for the Other Wes, his role models wasn't as adequate for that task. Other Wes role model was his brother Tony who in which was the eldest. The other Wes moore didn’t have a father figure so he depended on his older brother to show him the ropes of manhood but Tony didn't live up to that role. Tony was a known drug dealer where he lived in Baltimore but he try to steer his younger brother Wes away from it. When Tony would give him advice on avoiding this lifestyle, Wes would completely ignore it cause he wanted so badly to be like his older brother Tony. Stated by Moore, “Tony was the closest thing Wes had to a role model. But the more he tried to be like his brother, the more his brother rejected him.The more

Lastly I feel like these are some of the reasons why Wes mother Joy was his biggest influence in his life. She was his hard rock. Joy was the one that no matter how hard it was financially she found a way to make sure her son was making the right choice in life and if he wasn't she was going to make him change even if he didn't like it. All of these things reflect back on to who he is today. How he acts towards people and

It would never have occurred to my father to refuse” (9). If Julian didn’t have power and put the pressure onto his son to be like him, Wesley could be doing a job that he would enjoy. If someone from outside the family had been elected as sheriff, they could have taken care of Frank without direct pressure from the family. The grandfathers overwhelming power forever changed parts in the book; his son wouldn’t have had to deal with impressing his grandfather and protecting the favorite son,

From this description, it is obvious that Wesley surrenders and caters his father’s wish accepting everything his father requires him to do: like to be a sheriff, which even is a struggling occupation for him. The job “Sheriff” likes a burden for him but he still chooses it because the job is what his father designates to him, and until Frank dies, after he moves out of Montana, gets rid of his father’s control, to the extent, he dismantles his suffering a little from his father’s autocracy.
