The Soloist (1-6)

So far, The Soloist is a really intresting book. The fact that it is a true story really makes me want to find out what really happens to Nathaneil Ayers. The love that he has for music is very inspiring. He lives on the streest and has nothing but the clothes on his back, but as long as he has his precious violin, then he is alright. it makes me really think about how people take things for graunted. Alot of people in the world have everything they ever wanted, a huge house, money, designer clothes, and cars, but they still want more. Then there are people like Nathaneil Ayers who has no care in the world as long as he has his instrutment.
The first six chapters are about a writer names Steve Lopez who is looking for a story. He stumbles upon a homeless man on the streets of downtown LA. As soon he hears Ayers play he is mezmeriezed. He decides that his story is going to be about this amazing musician who lives on the streets. Whenever he tries to interview Ayers he dosent cooroporate. When he tries to find information about Nathaneil by talking to his loved ones, including his beloved sister he finds out that Ayers attended Julliard. He suffered from paranoid schizophrenia. Lopez then realizes that he wants to help Nathaneil in any way he can.
I really enjoy the first few chapters of this book because of the determination that both characters have. Ayers, because of his music, that is all he seems to care for. Lopez, because he wants to write a great column, and because he wants to truly help out Ayers. I am excitedto continue reading and find out what will happen to Nathaneil Ayers.
