In my paper I will attempt to answer from my observation about the book about these two boys and how this may have come to pass. For the sake of my paper I will identify the author as Wes Moore (A) and the other Wes Moore as Wes Moore (B). Both of the boys were raised by single black mother’s. Wes Moore’s (A) father, who was a respected radio and television host, tragically died in front of Wes when Wes was only three years old from an undiagnosed but very treatable virus that the hospital had misdiagnosed. Although Wes’ mother tried making it with her children on her own it was very difficult.
Suzanna had died nine years after Jean-Jacques was born. Forcing him to be raised and educated by his father until the age of ten. Rousseau's own subsequent accounts, the haphazard education that he received from his father included both the inculcation of republican patriotism and the reading of classical authors such as Plutarch who dealt with the Roman republic. On his father's exile from the city to avoid arrest, Jean-Jacques was put in the care of a pastor at nearby Bossey and subsequently apprenticed to an engraver. Rousseau left the city the age of sixteen and came under the influence of a Roman Catholic convert noblewoman.

It's the birthday of novelist Joseph Conrad, born in Berdichev, Ukraine (1857), in a region that had once been part of Poland. His father was a poet and translator of English and French literature. Joseph and his father read books written in both Polish and French. By the time he was 12 years old, both of his parents had died of tuberculosis. He went to Switzerland to live with his uncle, but after a few years he decided he wanted to go off and see the world.
The author states “the boy is not strong….he was born in Colorado only a few months before his mother died out there of a long illness” (163). So it goes to show that among other mental and character defects, Paul’s physical well-being is being brought into question, due to the fact that his mother died of some illness soon after his birth. This could lead the reader to believe that maybe his mother passed some type of illness to Paul. As the reader further reads into the story, it comes to light that Paul had a poor sense of self-worth. He was quick to think that the clothes he wore were that of a lower class of people.
John Anthony Burgess Wilson Burgess was born John Burgess Wilson on 25 February 1917 at 91 Carisbrook Street in Harpurhey, a suburb of Manchester, to a Catholic father and a Catholic convert mother.He self-described his background as lower middle class; growing up during the Great Depression Mother and sister died. Burgess believed that he was resented by his father, Joseph Wilson, for having survived. After the death of his mother, Burgess was raised by his maternal aunt, Ann Bromley, in Crumpsall with her two daughters. Burgess has said of his largely solitary childhood: "I was either distractedly persecuted or ignored. I was one despised ... Ragged boys in gangs would pounce on the well-dressed like myself."
Events similar take place in A Canticle for Leobowtiz’s “Fiat Homo”. It embarks on the journey of a 17-year-old novice named Brother Francis Gerard after the Flame Deluge. This catastrophic event destroyed most of the former civilization, and facilitated a step back for ingenuity. Consequently, education no longer becomes a necessity, but the explanation behind this apocalyptic event thus, leading to a decline in literacy and intelligence. The church served as a library filled to the brim with ancient texts and scrolls, and was the only form of education.
Kill the Indian, Save the Man The Genocidal Impact of American Indian Residential Schools Melina Salazar HIS 208 American Indian History Annaliese Bonacquista 04/29/11 The book I chose to write about is called Kill the Indian, Save the Man the Genocidal Impact of American Indian Residential Schools. This book discusses how for a hundred years Native American children were forced to leave their parents and move to residential schools and by forcing them to assimilate. The book was a little confusing for me because of how it was laid out. The book started out with a poem written about a young twelve year old boy named Charlie, who died after running away from the school, so he could get back to his family and his native people.

His wife Maria died following the birth of their third child, leaving him alone with his two
Pascal decided to learn about geometry, a topic he had only heard of but never studied, in his spare time. By age thirteen, he had proven the 32nd proposition of Euclid and discovered an error in Rene Descartes geometry. His father put Pascal’s knowledge in mathematics towards hand totaling long columns of numbers to his job. Pascal later went on the create the pascaline, a device fourteen by five by three inches that could do calculations, which can now be considered the first mechanical calculator. In 1650, Pascal suddenly decided to avidly study religion, but returned to his previous lifestyle three years later, conducting experiments on the pressure exerted by gases and liquids, inventing the arithmetical triangle, and created the calculus of probabilities together with Fermat.
