Many people are given another chance after doing wrong so then they can fix their mistakes and grow as a person. Some people decide to take the second chance they're given and others take it as a get out of jail free card. In Wes Moore's book "The Other Wes Moore" He talks about how he and another kid named Wes Moore both did some not-so-amazing things as kids. He also talks about the choices that led up to it and what happened after they were given second chances. Both Wes Moore's were given second chances after they made a mistake, one took it and went on a better path and the other ignored it and ended up in prison.
Moore was eight when he first ended up in handcuffs, he called his brother and was given his first of many second chances the book states “Three hours later, Wes was released under the care of Tony’s Father, and he was back at his house before his mother got home from her job. It was years before Wes’s mom found out her son had been arrested that day” (Moore 35). That was Moore’s first major mistake in a road that only went downhill. He later decided to not attend school and to skip it and hang out with his friends. One day he drank alcohol and paid the price for it. His mom said “Well, at least now you know how bad it feels and you will stay away from drinking” when he got a hangover (Moore 62).
