The Other Wes Moore :Chapter 1

In chapter 1 of the other wes moore it talks about both wes moore's life story in the beginning, The author and the other wes moore grew up with no fathers, for the author his father died when he was at a young age and for the other he didn't even knew his father only had his mother and the differences between those two was that the author's mom was abused in her first marriage, originated from Jamaica and was an activist  and for the the other wes moore his mother left her husband for being drunk  all the time and didn't want him to interfere with her children and she worked as a secretary and doesn't say where she originated from. The book outliers can explain the event of chapter 1 because in chapter one of outliers it talks about being born in modest circumstances so the author wes moore had support from his grandparents after his father died and for the other wes moore he only had support from his mother because his father left when his mother had him so that's why i believe it relates to the Matthew Effect because in outlier's  it was about opportunities and that's what the author had because his mother got support from his grandparents so he had help to take care of him but the only difference is the other wes moore he didn't have that much support he needed in his life, so i believe that this chapter in the book "The other wes moore" relates to chapter 1 of "Outliers".
