“Cathedral” (28) is Raymond Carver’s short story about the anticipation and fulfillment of one man’s encounter with his wife’s blind friend.

So Phillip is definitely right. Why are children more impressionable than adults when it comes to heroes and idols? I think it’s because children always have someone
