The Other Wes Moore: Literary Analysis

As I reflected on my own life, I can see how I fit into God’s bigger story. The purpose of reading the book entitled The Sacred Romance was to draw a connection from the life Arrows the authors Brent Curtis and John Eldredge had encountered. I also was able to point out my own life Arrows and described both the process and the lesson. By recognizing my Arrows and growing from them I have been able to have successful relationships.

Wes Moore’s mother, Joy was a college graduate and very strict on disciplining her son. For example, Joy, Wes Moore’s mother worked hard to make sure that Wes Moore (the author) went to private school and later on, Military academy, so that he would have better opportunities in the future. Because of his mother Joy, Wes Moore (the author) was more disciplined growing up and became successful. The Other Wes Moore’s mother Mary, was not college graduate and less strict comparing to Wes Moore’s (the author) mother. Even though the other Wes Moore’s mother Mary, tried to improve her family situation by pursuing higher education, she was unable to continue due to her grants were cut and she couldn’t pay her way up to college. For example, when the other Wes Moore’s mother found out there were drugs hiding under her son’s bed she flushed it down to the toilet and she didn’t face her son’s problems, instead she had a hard time believing that both Tony, her older son and the other Wes Moore were drug dealers (Moore 74). As a result of less educated and less strict she was, that led to the other Wes Moore to continue drug

Back long ago before we had books or even computers we socialized with each other, We sat around the dinner table or a fire and told stories from start to finish. We didn't just speak to tell the stories, we also used visuals such as pictures. The pictures were used to engage the audience into the storie.

There are many explanations for someones success and there are also reason for unsuccessfulness. Some of the reasons for success may be due to family legacies and long time goals flourishing. In other cases success may not come to some people, for reasons such as lack of motivation or situations outside of their control.

Are we able to control our destiny or the outside forces? There are very good arguments about that but at the end of the day, I feel like we don’t control what happens to use in the future. Especially after I read the book, “A Lesson Before Dying”. Jefferson, the main character, was executed for something he didn't even do. He had a future and it was all gone due to what he couldn't control. He was at the wrong at the wrong time. He was also wrongfully accused and convicted of the robbery and murder of a white man, and sentenced to death by electrocution.

A memoir is an account of a real person’s life. The narrator is a character in a story who reflects on the events of their life and, usually, draws certain conclusions. Typically focused on certain incidents in a person’s life, those incidents make up the individual stories that contribute to the overall work. Unlike an autobiography, which recounts particular historical dates and facts about a person’s life, a memoir is a depiction of how that individual remembers his own life, sometime unreliably. The dates and facts in a memoir may not be entirely accurate (though they often are), and they are less important than the memories and the reflections.

Many people throughout the world live in a place where they are unable to obtain the necessary resources needed to survive unless they’re risking something.

In the short stories of Edwidge Danticat’s novel Krik? Krak! The author follows the fictional lives in a town called Ville Rose, in Haiti.

“I did not shriek, but all the fiendish ghouls that ride the night-wind shrieked for me as in that same second there crashed down upon my mind a single fleeting avalanche of soul-annihilating memory.” This quote, one of many unnerving passages in Howard Phillips Lovecraft’s “The Outsider” is one that would most likely not be found in any category but the famed horror genre. “The Outsider” is about a being who is “trapped” inside a castle with barely any recollection of its past. In a quick decision, it decides to break out of its own prison to find light. The thing manages to escape out of a “tower” that was all but accessible, and into a field that strangely resembles a graveyard. Then it makes way to an elegant home, and crashes a party.

“Small town, farm kid.” A description of my mom’s childhood. Unknowing if she would ever get out of Ohio or not end up as a farmer, auto factory worker. Education was never valued in her family. Leaving Ohio was a way to never face the reality of what would happen if she ever stayed. Once she joined the military and left Ohio for good, she knew she would never move back. Just standing in the messy kitchen and cooking tacos and thinking about how her life has changed so much was how my mother, Shelly Chavez, coped with this interview.

Usually, a hero is considered to be someone who is incredibly famous, or someone that has saved the life of at least one person. In my case, my hero is someone pretty "normal", someone that is not famous and has not made any heroic acts known by people around the globe; my hero is my mom, Georgina Amabizca. I consider her as my hero because of the great admiration I feel towards her, and also, for the way she inspires me to try to be a better version of myself every single day. Her personality is simply amazing, she always remains positive and persevering no matter what the conditions are, and you can easily tell that by looking at the amount of obstacles she has surmounted since she was just a child.
