The cathedral
#4 The whole story is shaped by the man's uneasiness around a blind man. He pictures the typical blind person you see on tv or in the movies. One who shows no emotion and is practically lifeless. As the story continues he begins to understand the man's disability and that it doesn't affect him as a person at all. In the end when the main character and the blind man draw the cathedral together, he closes his eyes and doesn't want to open them. This completes the irony of the story because he started out looking down upon blindness but in the end he enjoys the different feeling he gets drawing without looking at his work.

2) Writing that has enough detail to illustrate that you’ve read the homework
3) Depth of thought, either in asking insightful questions(not rhetorical ones) or insightful comments that illustrate complexity of the text
4) Evidence from the text that supports your insights and not plot summary
5) You avoid summarizing the plot, rather use the plot to illustrate your point.
