A Good (WO)Man Is Hard to Find???

I had no idea that this story was going to be about a woman and her family. I was thinking more of a basis of a woman trying to find a good man with great standards. I think overall, the story was amazing. It had so much life to it. If it was meant to have no moral, I found one. It's funny how people or authors challenge your ability to think long and hard about how you live your everyday life. this story makes you look back and realize that life's too short to not make the best of it and have an impact on someone else.
As I read on, the killer in the story stood out to me. He seemed to be more than just a killer to me. I think that he was trying to teach this family a lesson. I am not sure what it may be but there was just something about him that stood out. It's very ironic to me how he tried to have no remorse for killing these people but yet he tried not to look into the eyes of them so he wouldn't catch feelings. It was a bit scary at one point. His questions were thought provoking and they made perfect sense. When he said, " there never was a body that gave the undertaker a tip", made me think that there may be a point in life where we should realize that we should never have to beg for life, instead we should take it.

Cathedral

In the beginning of this story, I had no idea I was going to be reading about a blind man and the women who had a relationship with him. I was thinking that I was going to encounter a wonderful work of art on a "cathedral" building. I am still not sue what the whole moral of the story was yet but probably after reading it a second time around will do the trick.
While reading the story, I wondered why the narrator was not very approving of the blind man to join him in his house, and I've noticed that with most of the stories we have read within this class, the couples in them are nameless. It seems as if these couples have to earn their names. They are always referred to as, "the wife" or "the husband". During these times of writing were names irrelevant to the authors?
In Cathedral I thought that the blind man was a bit weird in such a way. Even though he is blind, he seems a little too needy at times. He dosent seem as if he was a person of his own after his wife Beulah passed. After the comment in the story was made about his wife, I was able to identify the background of the people within the story. I think it was very racial to say, "Beulah! was his wife black?" I think that name has nothing to do with what racial background you are. What kind of relationship did the blind man and Beulah have in the first place before they were married?
The lanuage in this story was not of the obvious but I was able to tell that it was from a different time. I think that the characters had voices of their own and I was able to distinguish who was who.
