He's Got The World On Two Strings.

Who is Nathaniel Anthony Ayers ? A homeless bum and a Julliard alum? Why is he living on the streets of New York playing a violin with two strings missing? What drove him to insanity? Journalist, Steve Lopez ponders and ask these questions. Out of his curiosity I can't help but wonder myself too. I have questions of my own of how a man who has physiological problems still can produce music. amy theory is I think the sounds he makes from his violin keeps him sane. Every person living on the streets has a story but what makes Nathaniel so special to Lopez? I'm pretty sure that any bum living on the street has an interesting story of how they got to that point in there life. So then why did he choose Nathaniel?

I think this book is very interesting and different from the texts we had throughout the year. The Soloist, is current and is what people are reading today. I really would like to know how the story ends. What if Ayers story of how he got to the point of living on the streets wasnt that good. Would Lopez still post the article? I ponder and questioned if Lopez issues his article will people be aware of Nathaniel? Would they want to help or will people think its foolish and just feel bad for him ? Will issuing the article create an awareness of people living on the streets? These are questions I plan to look for answers when continuing the book.

I would like to finish the book and know the reaction of people who read the article about Ayers.
