The Other Wes Moor blog post #1

The theme of chapter 1 is based on 2 theme topic which is Poverty and Life choices. I've chosen these 2 themes because the protagonist of the story, Westley, he kinda of doesn't know from his right or wrong of hitting his friend Nikki. When his mother finds him hitting Nikki he immediately runs to his room and hide. He doesn't have enough room to hide since his room is so small. Also the the states that he love near the Maryland and Washington D.C. border line near tenement.  In the story it's states, "Those hands were now reaching for me… still unsure about what I'd done so terribly wrong". He notice the actions that were going to be thrown in him, Another example the text states, "And still trying to comprehend why I was in so much trouble... I sat in the middle of the room, next to my sisters empty crib, awaiting my fate". He didn't know by hitting Nikki he would have a punishment from him mom, just waiting for the moment to come. Another example from the test, "I shared with my baby sister Shani. Our room wasting, barely enough for my small bed and her crib". This show that Westley family probably live in a low income house were there is really no much of space in ones room. The test also states, "I wanted to tap on the window to say hello as she walked past our house to the tenement building next door". This shows that Westley's family lives in a low income house and probably in a tenement ( A room or a set of rooms forming a separate residence within a house or block of apartments that are owned by the poor) building, located in a poor neighborhood. Finally the text states, " Years would pass before I understood how the blow connections to my mom's past". This show that Westley has yet to find how everything he's experienced or done is connected to his mom and her appearance towards him. He hope not to upset his mom in the future by knowing from his right and wrong. As you can see the them of chapter in is based on 2 theme topics of Poverty and Life Choices.
