Wes A -mother's ex husband was abusive and an addict.  He came home drunk and was angry and got more and more abusive. Once she gained her composure  she pulled out a knife and said " If you try that 🤬 again I will kill you  ]]> 2020-10-01 18:05:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kstanfo1/snvmyx8q88m8v8eh/wish/795817491 https://padlet.com/kstanfo1/snvmyx8q88m8v8eh/wish/795820397 Wes (B) doesn't have a father in his life, due to him not wanting to be there, as Wes says before chp 1. This contributes to identity as people might assume his personality based on him not having a fatherly figure, that he's made at the world for his father not wanting to be in his life. ]]> 2020-10-01 18:06:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kstanfo1/snvmyx8q88m8v8eh/wish/795820397 https://padlet.com/kstanfo1/snvmyx8q88m8v8eh/wish/795823132 Wes B's father walked out of his life at a young age. On the last page of the introduction it states, "My father wasn't there because he chose not to be we're going to more their abcences in different ways."

Wes's father cared very much about his family. On page 6 his dad comes to his aid after he hits Nikki. "Joy, you can't get onto him like that." Wes is taking up for him because he is three and doesn't understand everything yet. He calls him his main man. "I was his main man. He was my protector." He protects him from harm. ]]> 2020-10-01 18:07:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kstanfo1/snvmyx8q88m8v8eh/wish/795824058 https://padlet.com/kstanfo1/snvmyx8q88m8v8eh/wish/795829919 Boone Crockett, Eli Glisman

People may make assumptions based on race, education, community, and family. People may say we are "Bad" because we do not live in a rich community. People may say we are rich, poor, or dangerous based on our race. Wes Moore knows this world is corrupt and people need to see this. ]]> 2020-10-01 18:11:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kstanfo1/snvmyx8q88m8v8eh/wish/795842011 https://padlet.com/kstanfo1/snvmyx8q88m8v8eh/wish/795842332 "My father and I sat talking for another five minutes before he led me downstairs to
apologize to my sister, and my mother. With each tiny step I took with him, my whole
hand wrapped tighter around his middle finger. I tried to copy his walk, his expressions.
I was his main man. He was my protector.
That is one of only two memories I have of my father. the other was when I watched him die."

Your identity is also based on how you act towards people. We are more than our steryotypes because a quick assumption is not always right. ]]> 2020-10-01 18:12:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kstanfo1/snvmyx8q88m8v8eh/wish/795845312 https://padlet.com/kstanfo1/snvmyx8q88m8v8eh/wish/795845428 Jayda]]> 2020-10-01 18:12:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kstanfo1/snvmyx8q88m8v8eh/wish/795845428 https://padlet.com/kstanfo1/snvmyx8q88m8v8eh/wish/795846680 He´s point by showing us that what people think of us affect us way beyond what we can control. Our identity should be decided by what people think or us but what we as people try to be. We are what we want to be, not what people want us to be.

They both lost their father when they were young but they dealt with it different ways because of the way they lost their fathers. Wes A lost his because he died from a throat condition, Wes B lost his because he was a terrible father and left them when he was young. One of them grew up to be a writer and the other ended up going to jail for life for robbing a store and killing a man. I think we are more than what people think we are because it is just like first impressions it can sometimes not be completely correct and people can get the wrong identity and think you are someone you are not. ]]> 2020-10-02 00:09:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kstanfo1/snvmyx8q88m8v8eh/wish/796659074
