Cathedral by Raymond Carver

The story is seen from first person point of view. Is about this man whose wife’s friend comes to visit. The big thing is the visitor is blind and he doesn’t seem like a blind man. Cathedral pops out when a television documentary shows European cathedral and the main character describes the blind mind a cathedral and they eventually end up painting one together. Through the process the man learns that he did know how a cathedral is and that the blind man has great wisdom. The whole message the story send is that the main character was the really blind one because he didn’t value what he had.
