Cathedral
Before reading Cathedral by Raymond Carver my impressions, of course my impressions were that it would have a religious aspect to it. I had no idea that it would hold such a deep meaning. I really enjoyed this story and the relationships between the characters. Even the husband and wife bickering brought a smile to my face. Not in every way but in some ways he reminded me of my own husband. My husband is a creature of habit and sometimes can be negative about going places or meeting new people. But, putting yourself in a new situation can sometimes be scary but it also can be a wonderful new experience, such as the one Robert and the husband shared. I would definitely recommend this story to a friend or (husband). I feel like even though the husband's eyes were shut at the end they are now open to a whole new way of seeing things.

Amy,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed this story so much! I just want to make sure you understand what you have to do. The assignment or 10% of your final grade is for you to write about only one of the readings each week. While I think it's great to write about all of them because it can only help you, I just hope you know that it is not required to write about all of them. As for your husband, I know exactly what you mean! I have the same problem with my husband sometimes too!
