The Other Wes MooreIn the book The Other Wes Moore it is difficult to believe the great similarities in the lives of the two Moores, who share a name and other aspects of life. The two grew up without a father and were born in the late 1970s in the neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland. They also had similar experiences growing up, but at some point one of them became a criminal and the other a scholar (the author of the book). The author of the book seems to be interested in the similarities of the two boys as opposed to their different experiences. The story is interesting and makes you imagine what would have become of the writer if by chance he had not come across the people who guided him to become what he eventually became, the small changes in their destinies shaping his final end. Perhaps the writer aims to help the reader understand the meaning of their education for what will become of them in the future (Moore, 2011). In this book published in 2011, Moore, the author clearly aims to achieve two main objectives. The first is to give an account of his life and the other to show the similarities with that of his counterpart, the namesake. It also aims to help readers and the general public identify the various issues that lead people to commit crimes in America and in the community at large. He manages to simplify his message into a single quote by stating that one of the Moores was free and the other had come to know that he had experienced similar things that he had only dreamed the other boy had experienced. The second Moore had been sentenced to life in prison and would spend the rest of his life behind bars for the murder of a police officer during a robbery... middle of paper... activities they carry out. The theory examines how a lack of regulation in a community results in crime. Furthermore, it alludes to the fact that when an individual faces great tension or pain in achieving his goals and needs in life, he is forced to give up altogether or apply force to achieve them. This motivation to achieve community needs and goals led the other Moore to dive deeply into a life of crime (Moore, 2011). As previously stated, Wes Moore, the inmate, began fulfilling his social "desire" to deliver drugs to the corners of the city and did so at an exceptionally young age. Applying Ferrante's definition, Moore's achievements related to money and notoriety would subtitle him as a high-salaried individual. However, such a lifestyle did not allow for Moore's introduction to overall better living conditions
