Blog 9: Response to Carver R "Cathedral"

I just finished reading the short story called Cathedral, which is kind of long for me, but this story is interesting.  The story was about a blind man called Robert came to visit the narrator's wife, and the narrator was unhappy at first.  However, when his wife fall asleep, and there was him alone with Robert.  He tried to describe what he saw in the television to Robert, but he cannot say a word about what Cathedral looks like, then Robert told narrator to hold his hand and draw it.  Robert told the narrator to close his eyes when they were drawing, and the narrator said he felt something else and he would like to keep his eyes close for a little longer.  The narrator experienced something differently when he closed his eyes, I guess it is inner peace, he can feel he was in his home.

However, I am still a little bit confused about the story.  Why did the writer name this article "Cathedral" which Cathedral appeared very late in this article. Also, this story seems have no end to me.  I can only guess what will going on after the narrator open his eyes and what will he say to Robert.
