A Whirring Undercurrent, The Audience Holds Their Breath

In the Soloist in Chapters 13- 22 the author begins to delve into Nathaniel's background as of late. It doesnt tend to focus on his history, but his current conditions on Skid Row and how terrriblle they are. However, you do find out that Nathaniel did come from a true family, and that he was exposed early to music. As for Steve, he begins to develop feelings for Nathaniel and tries to better his life by getting him to live indoors. He reluctantly agrees since he will be taking lessons from an established orchestra member. Thisgradually turns into a steady living space and Nathaniel begins to compose himself a bit more than just muscially. He begins to slowly trust those around him even.
By now Steve has such an interest in Nathaniel that he flies out to meet his father who ironically knows very little about him. He interview's the father and is given the message of a father's acknowlegdement and praise to give to his son. As for my take on all this, I think the story is progressing quite nicely. Since I know this story is a real one, for a man whose profession is to write interesting stories to publish this, you can tell that the ending will be truly spectacular. I predict NAthaniel's home life coming to terms, and his own loose ends being tied.Also I see, in true Hollywood American fashion, NAthaniel gaining some capital and living a more comfortable life. Maybe there can also be an "Annie" effect in which he helps some other homeless people.
I'd like this to be graded on my prediction. What does the reader feel will happen? Also I'd like to apologize if there are any elementary grammatical or syntactical errors. I just got my computer back and am frantically trying to write some of my novel Miss Knox loves and get English done, so I have worked hastily. Thank you
