Carver Cathedral
I really enjoyed reading this short story. It was very interesting and amusing. I liked how the narrator, even though he wasn't blind, seemed to be the one who was "blind" as he didn't know what to expect about Robert. He was very judgmental in the beginning and jealous of his wife's relationship with Robert. He seemed lost and disconnected with reality. The narrator pitted Robert because he wasn't able to see his wife's face before she died; however, in reality even though the narrator could see wife's face doesn't mean he really "knows" her. Another really interesting part of the story was when the narrator tries to describe what a cathedral is to Robert. He couldn't properly describe it even though he was able to see it on TV. Only after he starts drawing a cathedral with his eyes closed, he was able to understand and truly see for the very first time. I liked the ending as well because it kinda leaves you guessing.
