Cathedral

I liked how this article gave some backgound information and then went into depth about the visit with Robert (the blindman). I think this is also a very good depiction have how uncomfortable people are around persons with disabilities. It was interesting to read about someone attempting to describe something to someone who is blind. This is because we tend to use familar images to describe something else and this simply does not work with someone who has seen nothing. It is more appropriate to define what a cathedral is rather than describe what it looks like.

One thing I found funny was on the second page when the wife says, "if you had a friend, any friend, and the friend came to visit, I'd make him feel comfortable." This is funny because one reason he may be uncomfortable is the fact she has male friend, and the fact that she did not imply his friend could be female shows the same discomfort. I also did not like the way this piece ended, it was a little too ambiguous.
