Upon my completion for reading The Soloist, I have to say that it was a nice break from the past readings that we have had this year. The thing that i enjoyed most about The Soloist is that it was real! Unlike the other books we have read this one was actually a true story about real people and their real problems. That is why I think I enjoyed reading this book so much, it had me hooked from beginning to end because as I was reading it I knew what I was reading actually happened. Even better is that these events are still currently happening and are ongoing with Lopez and Ayers. I think this is why this book had me hooked.
As far as chapters 23-31 go they same things basically occurred, other than a fight or two. A fight did arise between Ayers and Lopez where Ayers' condition did get the best of him. Ayers says a lot of nasty things to Lopez and at this point Lopez could have easily started to avoid Ayers and given up their relationship. But, Lopez accepts Ayers for who he is and disregards the things he said about him. He knows Ayers for the great person he is inside and knows and accepts him for his sickness. Their friendship is far more than it once started out as a few newspaper articles.
This book is a story about two unlike people that form a friendship because one of them is an ambitious journalist that seeks the goodness in people, and the other is a person down on his luck that needs a friend. They form the eternal bond that is a good friendship. They are still friends to this day, far past the time the book was written. And I will assume that the great bond that is their friendship will go on for many many more years to come.
Focus: Overall content of my post.
