Things are really starting to pick up in the story in chapters 7-12. Steve Lopez shows his true interest in Nathaniel and telling his story to others. Lopez decides to sleep on skid row with Nathaniel and experience a night in the life of a homeless man. Although he didn’t sleep he just sat there, he still made the attempt. I feel that Lopez just wanted to be there for Nathaniel; he has so much talent and lives in one of the most dangerous places in the country. He just feels better knowing he’s not alone. Lopez goes to a nearby hotel and checks in but soon enough he leaves only to roam the streets until morning. I viewed this section as selfless on Lopez’s part. That would be the day that I went and stayed on skid row with a man with schizophrenia. As the story develops you realize Steve isn’t just in it for the story. He genuinely cares for Ayers in a way that I could never fully understand. He’s one of a kind considering many journalists are just out for themselves, they print the story and move on to a new one. Lopez takes the time to let the story take it’s course.
I don't have any specific ways for you to grade this post. Just do your thing :)
