the soloist part 3

i found lopez's persistence to help Nathaniel inspiring and enojyiable. His never ending puruist to help him and make him a better person is amazing and commendable. Even if they argue he never gives up and backs down. This seems like an endless battle but still he continues and invests so much time an energy into a man that most people wouldn't even notice if they tripped over him.

the title of the soloist says it all and is the essence of the main character. Natahniel is a man on his own and has been for some time. he plays on his own and plays music that only he can really hear and understand. Even Steve Lopez is a soloist at times, he works alone and turns all these thoughts and stories in his head into great stories and pieces about real life that are descriptive and well done. They both have their own craft and excel at it. This book makes me think that were all soloists for at least one thing in our lives.

I feel that this book is very entertaining and interesting. There is a lot of contrast between the two main characters. One is a writer with a career and a home and the other is a homeless man playing music all day just to pass the time and remember.  I wonder if Nathaniel feels that he has a problem or sees it as a problem at all . I also think that there is a common bond between these characters and that is art, one is a writer and the other is a musician. Both of them do these crafts and don’t exactly know why, Nathaniel plays to a city that never hears him and Lopez is a writer that never really gets recognition or appreciation for his work. So far this is an excellent story and I cant wait to read on.

catcher and the rye

Holden seems like a very critical and honest person. He always puts it like it is and never lies. He lives a life that most would frown upon with the dropping out of school and getting a hooker. There is a lot about Holden that I like and share a bond with. For one thing his analyzing of people and sarcasm is the kind of humor I share.  He’s not afraid to be honest and different from others, a quality I admire. It seems that he always does what he feels is right despite other opinions.  I see him as a free thinker in a world of conformists and liars, This is how I feel about Holden as a character.
