Explanation:

1. For the first question: Chapter 6 of The Other Wes Moore centers on Wes fully entering the drug trade as a defining, downward-turning point that shapes his trajectory.
2. For the second question: Tony shows occasional care for Wes but his involvement in the drug trade and example push Wes deeper into harmful behavior, making his influence harmful despite small moments of concern.
3. For the third question: Wes has limited legitimate opportunities to support himself and his family, so immediate financial need and lack of other options drive him to keep dealing drugs despite risks.

1. Full immersion in the drug trade
2. Harmful despite moments of care
3. Lack of alternatives and immediate financial need
