Raymond Carver's "Cathedral" is written in the first person point of view. It is a story of a sighted man who learned the true meaning of sight from a blind man. Vision is something many sighted people tend to take for granted and although they can "see", they can't "envision". Carver's blind man taught the narrator of this story to "envision" things he could see. This photo represents the power of writing (and drawing as done in the story) and its ability to enhance the senses.
