The Soloist 13-22

Throught these chapters i began to notice a little bit of the writing style of Lopez through his Skid Row series. His story of Nathaniel Ayers is beginning to become noticed by many people. I do not think that lopez writing about what he noticed on skid row is a very professional thing to do. I do not think it is right for the lives of the unfortunate to be put out there just because of one person, Ayers, who spends most of his time there. The mayor begins to take interest also and finds out a few things about Skid Row that he supposeably did not know about.

Also throughout these chapters, many people keep trying to move Ayers into an appartment that they had reserved for him but Ayers still will not leave his somewhat of a home on Skid Row. I feel that there are two problems wrong with what they are trying to do. Just because Ayers has been in the L.A. times because of Lopez does not mean that he should get special treatment from people and have a reserved appartment for him when there are many other people out there just like him and do not receive anything. Also, trying to persuade someone like Ayers with the illness of schizophrenia to move somewhere he is not comfortable with can make him feel very uncomfortable with the people that are trying to persuade him to take the open spot in the appartment. Lopez should have a put a stop to his Nathaniel Ayers story when many people began taking interest because problems are sure to come.

Focus: I'm curious to see if my recent posts have had good details and if i get a good viewpoint across to the readers that have been reading my recent blogs.
