The Soloist: Final Chapters


The last few chapters in this book ended it off very well in my opinion; it was a good choice to end the year off. That kind of made the book more interesting because it was the last one we had to read honestly lol.
From the beginning of the book when Lopez first heard Ayers play his violin with two strings to where there relationship grew into them having a good friendship. Threwout their one fight that happened in the last couple of chapters, there was one fight that occurred in these final chapters could have been the end. Instead of Lopez walking from the situation and leaving Ayers alone, he looked at the hardship that Ayers was going threw. That showed how much he truly cared for him and the strong feelings he had. For example when Lopez surprised Ayers with his own studio and instruments was the best thing he could have done.
When given him his own space could really be good to keep him motivated in his music. The only thing that Ayers wants to do is play music. No matter how hard or bad things get or how awful people and situations can be music will always be there for you. Being that every time something goes wrong in my life when I play music it soothes my soul and makes everything better.

Chapters 13-22

After reading chapter 13 threw 22 I began to develop many questions in my mind at this point in the book. In these couple of chapters in the book Lopez starts to become a huge factor in Ayers life. Lopez begins to change in character, he also changes in the style of writing. To help Ayers he grabbed various instruments and stored them in a facility where Nathaniel can come anytime to use them. It's like it was all done on purpose. I also think that Nathaniel has grown in character too. He has become willing to let people help him with his disease and to help more period. It seems that he does this because of the grateful things that Ayers has done for him. Many people were trying to put Ayers in an apartment but I think that they shouldn’t try to move him to an unfamiliar place because he is very paranoid. It seems that Ayers is another very creative starving artist who is connected to a pure world and a nomadic life style. He has no distractions, just music which is cool. Nathaniel Ayers gets to play music all day and he has to answers to no one. So i am pretty sure that he wouldn’t want to move nowhere outside of where he is now.
