Nicole Leavitt Professor Slattery ENG-L202 18 October 2012 Role of Architecture in “Cathedral” by Raymond Carver “Cathedral” by Raymond Carver is a story about a man’s (the narrator) experience when his wife’s blind friend, Robert, visits their home and helps the narrator realize that he lacks meaning and intimacy in his life. Robert has a large influence on the narrator’s outlook on life and how he perceives the blind culture. By the end of the story, it is clear that even though Robert is physically blind, he has a great understanding of the world around him. The narrator who has complete vision is challenged to recognize his surroundings, and maintains a narrow mind. Towards the end of the story, when Robert and the narrator are watching a television show about cathedrals, the narrator attempts to describe a cathedral to Robert so he can visualize the picture being displayed on the TV.
Instructor Helen Chandler English 1301-2023 February 9, 2012 “The last Lecture’s backgroung” The last lecture was for most of the students and readers a seemingly average book written by a writer who was going through a difficult health problem. That writer, Randy Pausch just wanted to let his audience know about his childhood dreams and how he achieved most of them. He shared with readers and listeners in one of his lectures how achieving their dreams is the best way to “live their life well.” However, going deep through the lecture, it is not difficult as an analytic reader, or listener in the case of being part of the speech, to figure out the rhetorical devices used in narration. Regardless, importance of this last lecture, these rhetorical devices were used in a very clever way to provide: clearness, persuasion, and sentimentalism. One impressive tool used was clarity, the structured and choreographed explanation between his personal and professional life, left nothing for the reader to ask for, every paragraph was clear and meaningful; by giving examples and using props to make him even more understandable, and reliable for his audience, Pausch led his readers and listeners right what he wanted.

What I learned from this experience is that these meetings are a fellowship of men and women who share their experiences, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. I am glad I had the opportunity to attend this meeting. I feel hearing this type group will aid me to help better understand and help my patients when they may need help that I may guide and encourage them to attend meetings like
When Ethan and Zeena had first met, "Zeena's volubility was music to his ears" (qtd.in Lauer 29), after his father’s death, his mother fell sick and silent for years. "The mere fact of obeying her orders, of feeling free to go about his business again and talk with other men, restored his shaken balance magnified his sense of what he owed her" (29) shows us that having Zeena around made Ethan happy because he isn’t lonely. After all those times in silence with his mother it was good to have another person around, another voice to hear, otherwise he
