Blog 9: Response to Carver “Cathedral”


This article tells us a story about a blind man named Robert. Author’s wife was hired by him and used to read newspapers and books for Robert, and they became good friends. In this article, there is one part moved me deeply. The part talks about that when the author’s wife left Robert and married her ex-husband, the blind man Robert wants to touch the author’s wife’s face and try to remember her. I think the blind man Robert is really poor, can you imagine that if you want to remember a person, you have to try to touch every parts of the face, and you have no idea what the color is? That is so hard and poor.

After reading this article, I know more about the difference between disabled and normal people. Sometimes a disabled person may have to pay ten more times effort to get the same achievement to a normal person. We should respect the disabled and try our best to help them.
