The Other Wes Moore

       The book that I read is called " The Other Wes Moore " by Wes Moore. This book is about two boys who have the same name. This story will take you through the journey of these two boys. You will meet characters who will change your perspective on things and change the minds of young readers. Every page that I turned made me want to read -more. Unlike all fairytale stories this book has a happy ending for one person but not for the other person. This book is riveting and exciting to read. The message that I found in this book is that struggles are going to happen.

     In this book Wes Moores friend Wes is  
put in jail for life after murdering an off duty cop. During this upcoming search for Wes and his brother Tony ( another criminal on the loose with his brother ) the police are eyeing the family's and friends of these people. In one of the  scenes there was a wedding for a family member of Wes's family member. During the drive to the hall celebration the narrator Wes was talking about how it was the first time the family could talk about something exciting other than the murder. This is giving us detail on how the family feels right now in this tough situation. Another depressing upset moment in the book was when Wes heard the words that declared him life in prison. These words were very touching because it made me  feel upset because I could feel the pain and anger that Wes must feel right now. I couldn't imagine myself spending life in prison. You do not to be in the persons shoes to feel how Wes feels in this moment you could just hear it from the words  and description in the book how he feels. These parts in the book now can touch back on my claim on how there could be lots of stuggles in life.

   In conclusion this book is a great book for people to read because it talks about struggles that the author or other characters may feel in the book. This will change the mind of readers from all around the world. I found this book very interesting and think that this is a very riveting amazing book that every one should read.
