The Soloist 13-22

Once again this book has exceeded my expectations in a good way. The persistency of Lopez really astounds me, but I still don't really understand why he's going through all this trouble. Even though I don't understand Lopez, I definitely respect him for what he is doing. Not many people would take time out of their everyday schedule to help a poor, schizophrenic, violin player, playing violin on the streets. But the impact Lopez has on Nathaniel is incredible. He has almost completely changed Nathaniel's life for the better. I know personally if I was in Lopez's situation when he first met Nathaniel I would not have given him the time of day. Over the short period of time Lopez and Nathaniel have known each other they have become very close friends and more has happened to Nathaniel then expected. I thought that Lopez would write the article and readers would be interested but I didn't they would go as far as to send him equipment and sincerely care for him. Nathaniel has a bright future because of Lopez.
