One’s childhood has a lasting impact on their entire life. Moore’s upbringing and the loving family he was born into, no matter how trivial it may seem, greatly contributed to his success. Wes seemingly grew up the same as any other kid in the Bronx – in a single-parent household, surrounded by bad influences… what separated him from the crowd? His support system: his family, and their ultimate support and sacrifices made all the difference. As a teenager, Wes seemed to be going down the wrong path. He constantly skipped school, his academic failures were overwhelming, and he was even arrested for vandalism. In the case of the other Wes, his family simply let these actions slide, and decision after decision ultimately landed him with a life sentence in prison. The author Wes’s mother, however, refused to allow this behavior to continue. As a method of intervention, she forced Moore to attend Valley Forge, and in doing so, probably saved his career.

In Montana 1948, it's obvious that Hayden Family are the most powerful in their area; "They couldn't arrest us- we are the law." It must be the reason why Frank, the doctor, felt that it's okay to take advantage of his American Indian patient, because he knew that no one is going to be against him; "If you could hear him talk. As if he had no more concern for what he did than if he had kicked a dog. No. He'd show more remorse over a dog."

Yet, Wes didn't do the right thing, putting his brother in the basement instead of jail, because he is aware that Frank is the favorite son of their dad; "Then why have you got him locked up here and not over at the jail? This is your brother. My son." It's also because of the prejudice on his mind- it's shown when he didn't believed his own wife immediately when she told him that his brother is doing something immoral. As a result of his fear,

By having multiple roles in the community and being the Sheriff of Bentrock, it puts Wesley in an even tougher position. Wesley is seen as a well respected member of the community, but during the novel he becomes very conflicted with himself and has to face one of the biggest decisions of his life when he has to chose between family or justice. He overcomes this conflict with himself by making the right decision no matter what anyone else thinks or is trying to tell him. There is plenty of description of Wesley at the beginning and through the novel. His conflict can be seen When he challenges gail “Are you telling me this because i’m Frank’s brother? Because i’m your husband? Because i’m Marie employer? ... Or because i’m the sheriff?”. This shows us that he is not sure what to believe anymore or what to do. Another time that we are shown Wesley's internal conflict is when he locks Frank in the basement instead of taking him straight to the police. He knows that Wesley needs consequences for his actions, but he is not sure how to do it, he just wants to do what's best for everyone, but sometimes that isn’t always possible. The technique of dialogue is used to show us the conflict Wesley has with himself and the true battles that he has to be able to face justice. We are shown all the barriers that he has to overcome and how this has shaped him into a person. Through the aspect of Wesley’s conflict, Watson has helped to understand the concept of how hard it actually is to chose between family and the law, sometimes it is harder than we think to do the right
