It seems like Lopez likes to talk and think about other people and their issues. He talks a lot about issues that a lot of other people have to deal with. he likes dive jump in their minds and find out all he can about them. Maybe this is because he is a journalist, and his second nature is to dig deep for the "scoop." But at the same time, he does this subconsciously. He subconsciously asks people about their lives and wants to know all about them. He is a very curious person, yet generous at the same time. He risks his relationship with his family in order to make sure Nathaniel is okay everyday, when he could be at home with his family.
Nathaniel seems to trust Lopez, yet distrust him at the same time because he doesn't want him to take his new instruments to Lamp.
The video clip adds to our reading because now we know how Nathaniel is doing now and how his life has been after the book. Without the video clip, as of now, I would have no idea what Nathaniel Ayers is doing now. I would have many questions like, where is he? Is he still on the streets? What is Steve Lopez doing now? Did he ever help Nathaniel the way he wanted to? Reading the book with all of these questions in my head would make me want to read the book even more to see if I could answer them, but because I know the answers to these questions, I now read the book in order to find out what happened leading up to today.
Questions I have now that I do no yet know the answer to are things like, does Nathaniel stay at Lamp? If he does, for how long? What ever happened to all of his instruments? Does he still have them?
