Book Report On The Other Wes Moore

651 Words | 3 Pages

Some productive ideas I thought of for a difference that could've led Wes’s life in a different direction are, listening to Tony about staying out of the drug game and sticking with Levy, who introduced Wes to the Job Corps. These people I believe could have impacted his life significantly if there wasn't so much negativity in the community. Also, there are some ways to ensure a more productive life for the many young men who grow up on the streets, and those are, staying positive, think about your future and find people who make you want to do better in life.
