While reading chapters 7-12 I felt like Lopez is getting closer and closer with Nathaniel. The doctors that Lopez is getting information from say that if Nathaniel doesn’t start taking medication now he is never going to get better. But he could try and persuade Nathaniel in the most tempting way possible to go get treated and he still would refuse. Lopez’s feelings for Nathaniel are very deep; he is starting to care a lot about him. He doesn’t want anything to happen to him . The area Nathaniel is living around is an extremely bad area. Prostitution, drugs, and murderous situations every night surround him. Lopez decides to spend a night out on the streets with Nathaniel to see how bad his nights really are. You can clearly tell how much Lopez cares for Ayers he is always out looking for him at least once a day, or calling people up to get information on how to help him. He took Nathaniel to a rehearsal at Disney Hall down the road from Skid Row. It was a huge procedure trying to get him to go, but he finally got him to go. Nathaniel didn’t want to leave his Shopping cart full of things at Lamp he describes it as being full of crooks and thieves who would steal anything in site. So Lopez found somewhere else for him to leave it, then he thought he was going to be a no show but he was wrong at the last minute there was Nathaniel. Once they got to the rehearsal he enjoined himself so much. He was surrounded by music everywhere and he loved it. This made Lopez so proud to see Nathaniel like this. The first 12 chapters were great I can’t wait to read on to see what happens next!
Focus points: To make sure my readers understood the story I’m trying to get across
your point of how much lopez cares for ayers came across very clear. nice work.
ReplyDeleteI think you got your point across . Keep up with the good work
ReplyDeleteI like how you can see that Nathaniel and Lopez are getting "closer and closer," but towards the end i think you got into plot summary too much. Maybe you should read over your writing a few times after you've completed writing. That way your blog wont become pointless and repetitive.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Alana's comment, and I think it can also be applied to your first post for this book. (Both are a bit heavy on plot summary and light on a focus or direction.) As you compose your last tow commentaries for Lopez's book, you might look back over the first two and consider whether there is some idea that you seem to be building as you write. You might try to connect the four posts as closely as possible (as you have started to do at the beginning of this entry).
