Lopez brings Nathaniel to see a doter.
Personal Response After I read “the soloist” page 1-100, I think this is a story about two men. Lopez has a terrible life. I think maybe Lopez meets Nathaniel is his destiny, he must have something change in his life. Nathaniel is a genius of music. I can’t understand why God so unfair, make him became a homeless. I think Nathaniel love music more than anyone. He can play a violin with two strings, but still focus in it. On the other hand, I think Lopez is a kind man. He is attracted by Nathaniel’s music first, and he threw himself into help Nathaniel. He says he just does for his job, but I think he does follow his heart.
