Title Justification Paper #3

    The title for part three, which is "Paths Taken and Expectations Fulfilled", the author strategically uses this title to represent the happening in chapters 7 and 8.
     In these two chapters, both Wes Moores strive to create a better lifestyle for themselves. Wes Moore number one succeeds at his job in the military and by doing so, he excels in education and graduates at the top of his class, which in the title justifies the part of "expectations fulfilled", for that his expectations were high and he succeeded at doing so. On the other hand, the "paths taken" refer to the oaths taken by Wes Moore number two, which of whom chooses to rob a bank with his brother, and after getting his GED, goes back down the path of drug dealing rather than going into a more positive direction to improve himself. In conclusion, Wes Moore number ones path led him to make his best selling book, and Wes Moore number two is stuck in prison serving time for the choice he has made.
       With their stories leading up to this, Wes Moore has created a phenomenal book about life experiences and choices made that influence what we do, what were taught to do, and our motives as we go throughout our lives. Also, his book goes to show that people from the same background can have two different outcomes, which solely depends on the choices you make throughout this long and tedious journey.
