Through chapters seven and twelve Lopez seems to change by asking many questions about Nathaniel and learning about where he stays now which is Skid Row. He wanders why this place is so crummy and has so many drug abusers which can always harm someone. Lopez describes how there is a horrible area in Los Angeles, but then right down the street there is Disney Hall. Lopez just does not understand how this could be and has some questions.
First, I agree with Lopez, Nathaniel's Skid Row is very disgraceful and he does not deserve to live there. Nathaniel is a very talented human being and does not need to be brought down anymore then what he is now. Nathaniel should have his own place on which he can rely on to sleep and play his music each and every day. Although he deals from a severe mental problem he still should be classified as a regular man.
As fore, my city is much alike Los Angeles or the Skid Row area. We have a Center City area and City Hall, but then right around the corner there is a terrible neighborhood that seems to suffer from terrible poverty. It seems to me almost every major city has an area in their city like this. Lopez questions this and in one article we read in class he wants to know why cities spend so much money on sports events and not on our young students at schools or our economy. In my opinion, I agree with Lopez and want to help young men and women like Nathaniel and make sure they get off on the right track.
In conclusion, I like how this story is progressing and hope it has a good ending.
