The Other Wes Moore -Chapter 5

Chapter 5 is about how the author wes was sent to military school because he was doing really poorly in school and it was the only option for his mother , after arriving to military school he was homesick , he wanted to go home but his mother didnt let him come home after staying there for awhile he learned a new type of respect , Real respect you can't get out of people Was something different than his type of respect in his neighborhood.
For the other wes he met a girl on his school bus and a couple months later he found out shes pregnant and that he was the father , he told tony about his situation but not his mother , tony broke the news at his brothers 1st birthday to his mother and she didnt say anything but one night he walked out to a guy yelling at his girlfriend and he tried to avoid it but he grabbed wes and started beating him up , wes ran inside got his gun and also his friend ran outside with his gun they both chased him and shot him , wes was arrested after that happened.
This chapter relates to  chapter 9 of the power of habit because the author wes  he chose to hang with friends that caused him to skip and have low grades in school in order to receive respect from his friends and neighborhood by doing what they want him to do and the same for the other wes he does what his brother tony told him is one up anybody that threatens him and he chose to live by that and that caused him to kill someone and get arrested after having his first baby so the author wes cue was school and his routine was ditching with friends and his reward was respect but changed his habit after military school and for the other wes his cue was being threatened or touched in an aggressive way and routine was tp retaliate back and his reward was earning fierce respect so they wont do it again but because of that he was arrested for murder.
