Prompt:Who is your favorite character and why? Who is your least favorite character?This week I have been reading "The Other Wes Moore" By:Wes Moore, and so far, I really like it. It is about two kids, about the same, both black, both grew up around drugs and crime, but had totally different futures due to certain influences and changes in their lives. The one who wrote the book was the one who turned out for the better. He has gone through military school, and received one of the highest academic achievements in the world, that allowed him to move on to Oxford college with a full scholarship, while the other is serving a life sentience in prison.
My favorite character in the entire book would be the good Wes's father. He kept a very fair house hold and was really nice to Wes's half sister, Nikki, even though he wasn't her birth father. He protected Wes, and his mother, until he died early in the book. He had a case of two different diseases with symptoms that confused the doctors, and so wasn't treatable.
My least favorite person in the book had to be the evil Wes's mother. I didn't like her because of her lack of care for her children's well being. When she found over 4,000 dollars in drugs underneath Wes's bed, the only thing she did for his situation was flush them down the toilet. When she found out that his girlfriend was pregnant, she acted normally, not even yelling or talking to him about the situation (well, maybe she wasn't surprised after Wes's older brother's girlfriend also got pregnant and had a kid two years earlier).
