The narrator in this story realizes the capability he has of focusing on something that has never been important to him. The story leaves us with a small sense of optimism that the narrator will change the way he views his life.

The Blindness of the Non-Blind The short story "Cathedral" by Raymond Carver displays one man’s new found understanding and acceptance of a blind man over a relatively short period of time.

From the beginning of time‚ beautiful cathedrals have been towering above buildings; still survive with their astonishing appearance. In doing this paper I was never aware of anything called “Gothic Cathedrals”.

A road trip is the ultimate getaway. It’s the journey‚ not the destination‚ so don’t hurry. Absorb the scenery‚ visit unusual attractions‚ eat in roadside diners‚ knock back a few cold ones in local taverns‚ and strike up conversations with strangers.

Raymond Carvers Cathedral illustrates the point of view of a self-centered man‚ the narrator‚ who suffers from a mild lack of education and culture while being more than slightly close-minded and rude.

The fact that the main character is also narrating helps as well when trying to capture his nature since we have access
