Through the third selection of "The Soloist" chapters, Steve Lopez's role in Nathaniel's life is turning out to be a lot more beneficial to both than I had previously foreseen.
Nathaniel has come into contact with several experts and others who have taken an interest in his case thanks to Mr. Lopez, and also has a growing base of supporters due to the articles that Mr. Lopez has published in his weekly column. Another huge benefit to Nathaniel is the reception of new instruments. The instruments are helping him regain some degree of control in his life, as he is letting the music take over and he is remembering parts of his old life before the breakdown. Hopefully the resurgence he is experiencing is just the beginning of his recovery, and he will be able to not only improve his music skills, but reach out to his family at some point.
Lopez himself has gotten some unexpected benefits from helping Nathaniel with his illness. Mr. Lopez is amassing a nice amount of money due to the popularity of his articles and his cause, allowing him to spend more time with his family. Also, it seems to me that Nataniel and Steve are becoming best friends in a way. This is a huge payoffs for both of them, and probably very instrumental in Nathaniel's recovery.
In conclusion, I am very happy to say that my second post was filled with an unneeded analysis of the book, and Mr. Lopez's actions have proved to be very beneficial to his new friend Nathaniel Ayers.
