Nick’s Reviews > The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates > Status Update

On todays status update I gave the page number on 223 it should be on 233.

I would rate the book I'm reading a 10/10. I would rank it like this because the character evolution of the two Wes Moores is astounding. The book shows the stories of people and neighborhoods we are not accustomed to. It also shows how hard work and dedication can get you out of poverty. I would recommend this book for more serious readers becuse of the dark themes of criminal activity and language.

I am reading a non-fiction book. I could find more information about the Wes' by talking to their former teachers, their friends, and people who encountered them. In the case of the Wes Moore who went to jail I could go to the police station where he was arrested and read his file. I could get information on the Wes Moore who wrote the book by interviewing his old teachers at his military school or interviewing him.

I am reading an informational text. The most important piece of information I have read so far is how these two boys with the same name, both fatherless, and both living a block away from each other in Baltimore could have such diffrent fates. I think this book is important because it shows how our decisions define who we are. I can compare the characters with ones from the outsiders because both are poor, parentless
