Response to Carver “Cathedral”

This story is about a men who learns a lesson from a blind man, who is a friend of his wife. He learns that people should learn the world with their heart instead of judging the world simply by their eyes.At the beginning of the story, we can easily feel that Carver doesn't like the blind man. The writer doesn't use any word to express his dissatisfaction, but we can feel that from the words. For example, the writer do not introduce the name of the blind man, which shows his aversion of the blind man. However, the writer changed his view about the blind man after talking to him. He found that the blind man have clear eyes in his heart and he knows how to feel the world with his heart.
