The narrator tries to entertain Robert after a big dinner as his wife gets drowsy. The key to that change is a simple act of empathy. The change in the narrator, as he tempers his bigotry toward the handicapped, his passive racism, and his chauvinism toward his wife, is the payoff of the story. In the course of a long evening, with many drinks and a joint shared, the narrator comes to accept Robert, and then to be enlightened by him. The narrator is somewhat sullen about his wife’s intimacy-dating back to her first marriage-with this blind man with his big beard and loud voice. ![]() ![]() Robert, the blind man, and the narrator’s wife became friends when she worked as an aid for him and over the years they developed an intimacy by sending each other tapes on which they talked about their lives. In “Cathedral,” the taciturn narrator is pressed into hosting an old friend of his wife’s, a blind man whose own wife recently passed away. Something happens and, because of it, something (or someone) changes.

This imaginative exercise can help your child develop their creativity and problem-solving skills. This stimulates their imagination and creativity as they paint their own mental images of the characters and settings.įor instance, while listening to a story about a princess and a dragon, your toddler may imagine the princess wearing a sparkly tiara and a flowing gown, while the dragon has green scales and breathes fire.

Because Hudson didn't sound like Hudson in his chapter. I adored Tim Paige's performance of Hudson in the other books as well as how he played any side characters that may have had lines in those chapters but then Hudson's first pov chapter started in this one and I realized I never paid attention to the names of the narrators for this book. So, when I realized this book was dual pov I was extremely excited! Heather was perfect as usual and the voice that she gives Hudson is what I expect when his character has a witty one-liner or some other sarcastic thing to say. My personal preference is 1st person with dual or multi pov over getting only one character pov - especially when there is a love story involved. There have been a few chapters at the end or beginning of the other books from Hudson's POV (and possibly Jaxson's, I can't remember so I could be wrong on that) that were performed by Tim Paige. ![]() ![]() She also IS Hudson lol!

The five-day trip out to Idaho when I was twelve had a powerful effect on me: what a huge and amazing country!
