Higher Order Thinking Question Chapter 1 of Life and Death In Chapter 1, we are introduced to two boys named Wes Moore. Are they alike or different, or both? How do we know? Begin with a complete topic sentence that answers the question. Cite your evidence. Include evidence from the book that supports your topic sentence. Use at least two pieces of evidence to support your answer.

Sample HOTQ Answer (Jayonna Robinson) The two boys are both alike, but slightly different. In chapter one, they both were getting in trouble. But the first Wes Moore got in trouble with the law. On page 14, paragraph 1, it says, “Wes managed to run straight to the officer’s car. An officer forced him against the car, face down. He cuffed Wes and threw him into the backseat.” But the second Wes Moore got in trouble with his brother. On page 17, paragraph 1, it says, “Tony punched his brother square in the face. Wes fell to the ground and Tony pinned his face down and kept swinging at him.” So, his brother was mad at him for lying and doing drugs after he told him not to do it. So, even though they were both getting in trouble, they were getting in trouble with different people.
