    Gununa Kawi Temple. Well, it used to be called that. Now it’s known as Gununa Kawi base camp. The world has fallen and these people still insist on doing their monkey chant, sorry “Kecak Dance”, every day without fail. They’re doing it right now. I can hear the faint “cak” sounds from the far end of the camp. They don’t want to get involved. Around me, people duck behind the fallen ruins of the temple, wielding guns in the dark. I’m pretty sure if the monkey dancers in the sky looked down now, they wouldn’t like what they saw.…

    "Cathedral" by Raymond Carver tells us short story about a blind man who comes to visit his friend and her husband. In the story, even though the husband can technically see and has a normal sight, in the beginning of the story he is the one who shows the signs of true "blindness" through inability to see Robert beyond his blindness, incapability to communicate with Robert, him feeling uncomfortable and acting awkward around Robert. The husband does not realize how Robert 's blindness changes him as human being. Carver skillfully shows the occurrence of change in the personality of the husband from being very awkward around a blind man to coming to realization that Robert is a person and not just a blind man. In the story, "Cathedral" Carver brings out the concept of husband 's spiritual blindness and the theme of broke marriage to shows what is wrong with the modern world.…

    In the reading of Cathedral by Raymond Carver (1981), the narrator is noting us of a visit his wife and him are expecting. It is an old friend of his wife, a blind man. As the narrator initiates the story, he lets us know that he “wasn’t enthusiastic about…” (Carver 1) this”…visit” (Carver 1). It seems he exaggerates as he gives us detail of how the blind man touched his wife’s face with his hand. Making us aware of his jealousy, he brings to notice the constant conversation the wife has in regards to her blind friend, Robert. As she mentions the blind man with honor and excitement, it annoys the narrator and tense moments are brought between them. The wife, completely aware of the narrator feelings, is irritated by his comments and reactions.…

    Blindness is an affliction that causes a person to possess the inability to see or to have the sense of sight. In the short story “Cathedral”, we meet an average, suburban husband and his wife, who have a troubled marriage. The husband is less than thrilled to meet his wife’s blind friend, Robert, who she has been exchanging tapes with for the past ten years. We feel sympathetic towards Robert because of his handicap, but as the story continues, it is in fact the narrator who should be pitied because he has trouble seeing the world on a deeper level. Ironically, Robert, the blind man, causes the narrator to realize this through having him draw a picture of a cathedral with his eyes closed. In that moment, the narrator has an epiphany and realizes that even with his perfect sight, he was unable to see the world in a deeper fashion.…

    Raymond Carver, Jr. was an American short story author and poet. He was born in 1938 and died in 1988. He was married twice, struggled with drugs and alcoholism, and was an unsuccessful writer early on in his career. It was not until his publication of “Cathedral” that he gained success. Carver even believed that “Cathedral was a watershed in his career, in its shift towards a more optimistic and confidently poetic style” (Arciniegas). “Cathedral” starts out slow, spending most of the short story on the back story of the narrator’s wife and a blind man. The story progresses with the three characters doing mostly everyday things, eating, talking, and drinking. While this happens, the narrator’s ideas of the blind are challenged little by…

    Raymond Carver’s short story “Cathedral” is a story that will aggravate the reader who is glancing at this story for the first time. The story itself will make her feel many mixed emotions as she continues to read. The story is told in first person by the husband’s point of view, who was not given a name in the story. This story is not only about a blind man named Robert, it is also about the husband himself and his views on a blind person in general. The way the husband is telling the story makes it both frustrating, yet it makes her feel pity towards him. He shows a high level of inconsideration when he speaks about the blind man. The husband has no remorse of the things he says. As she reads further into this short story, she notices that…

    In the story “Cathedral” by Raymond Carver, the narrator is overwhelmed with disappointment and misunderstanding in his own life. He doesn’t see all the beauty and creativity in the world, but merely goes through the motions of life without actively living. Blindness is an underlying theme in this story, but not only as a physicality, but a social handicap. The narrator may be more capable of sight than the blind man, but he knows nothing of the descriptive illustration of life. It is through the blind mans probing of the narrator, that he finally discovers how closed off and shielded he has been. We can see a revelation in the narrator, and a transformation in his mindset.…

    A cathedral is often where people find comfort and complete tranquility when admiring the beautiful architecture, staring at the art that is unfolded in front of their eyes gives people a sense of being part of sometime bigger than just themselves. Raymond Carver’s narrator in his short story “Cathedral” experiences a similar situation when he develops a relationship with a disabled man.

With a blind house guest arriving, the narrator’s ignorance is shown as he makes judgments and assumptions that society shaped for him. Originally acting as a gorgon due to his inability to recognize his dispassion, the man…

    I clearly remember when my family and I visited the cathedral pines, one of the most marvelous places in Wisconsin. The cathedral pines consist of coniferous trees with long spindly branches and some low laying brush. The humongous evergreens tower above us, so tall they appear to touch the top of the atmosphere. The timber stretches out around us in all directions, as if the forest never ends, my world swallowed by trees. As we stand in the center of the woods, I gaze at ancient pines surrounding us, standing like giants and rooted strongly into place. Here, the barren ground lacks a single shrub or bush to block the path. However, to reach the middle, we trekked through the thick leafy brush that crowds the trunks of young pines still sprouting…

    Tom had always loved plants. He loved the way they would begin their lives as tiny seeds buried in their cosy little nests, and then, with all the essential ingredients a sprinkle of water, a cup of sunlight and a dash of time they would blossom into sharp Italian ballet dancers, their lively radiance beating against the cream-white window pane. Toms mother would grow these plants by the dozen, and, once a month, after harvest week, she would take all the plants away, replacing them with seemingly barren pots of soil, each containing their own hidden seed ready to grow and blossom into another magnificent dancer on the windowsill.…

    During the beginning of this course, we read several works of literature, one being the “Cathedral” by Raymond Carver, An American short-storyteller and poet. 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. Because the blind man was not an important person to the narrator, the narrator made his own impression of him. This is one example of how people see without looking. We experience this in a classroom setting because time gets limited making it easier to evaluate certain individuals. It can be assumed that generally people associate positive or negative thoughts…
