Knowing something...
Knowledge is a series of complexities involving experiences of understandment for something unknown. You can only gain knowledge of something once it is taught to you and you understand the situation completely. You can not obtain complete knowledge of something until you fully understand the answer. To know something is to understand its goal or purpose. Everything has a reason for existence, but you can not know why it exists, until you understand the answer and why it exists.

Cathedral
1.The narrator did not like the fact that another man was visiting his wife. He was very rude to Robert and seemed to be jealous of the relationship they had. The narrator's actions show that he is insecure about the relationship he has with his wife and is jealous about how much Robert knows about her.
2. The experience the narrator's wife had with Robert touching her face can be seen as an experience of him seeing her. Even though he is blind, he can use his hands and his mind to grasp a visual picture of what she probably looks like mentally.
3. To recieve another's friend means to respect and be curteous to that friend because you care and respect your friend and their company. Accept others even though you may not know them and treat others how you want to be treated.
4. I believe Robert "saw" Beaulah better than anyone with eyes could. Robert didnt let his visual disability get in the way of getting to know someone. He used some of his other senses to "see" how beautiful Beaulah was. He used his ears to hear her voice and the sincerity of her words and saw her beauty through her personality and her love towards him.
5. The narrator and Robert smoked to release the social tension and to reach a higher, less conscious state of mind. This habit shows that the both of them have a desire to run away from reality sometimes and to live in a brief moment freedom from their worries.
6. Churches reveal how they feel about God and how important He is to them. A church is the best way to show how much you value and care about your fairh. You can tell how important a church is to a culture by its design, decorations, height, and quality.
7. The narrator finds difficulty in describing the cathedral because he doesnt see anything special about it.
When he finished drawing the cathedral with his eyes closed, the experience of him drawing the building and not seeing it made him feel as though he was in a different world. Even though he knew he was in his house, he felt like he wasnt and was free in his imagination. This experience opened his eyes to see what Robert sees all the time which brought an understanding and respect between them.
