I read "Cathedral" and I thought the story had great morals. It made me sad at first how the narrator felt about blind people and especially this man whom his wife was very good friends with. I was glad that the story ended with the narrator actually learning from this blind man, Robert, when at the beginning he was cutting him down. Actually both Robert and the narrator learned a lot from eachother. The narrator finally seen where blind people can see it is just in a different way. The narrator didn't even know how to describe a cathedral and by the end of the story he had drawn one and that became better than any desciption. I do not think the narrator is sympathetic at all. He makes it seem like blind people are no good and the people with them are just as bad. He changed by finally seeing the blind are normal people just like him.
