I really do like this short story unit. We've talked a lot about "Cathedrals" and i think one of the most interesting things are the Bub-Robert dualities:
Robert is blind -- Bub can see.
Robert is open-minded -- Bub is biased and ignorant.
Mrs. Bub admires Robert -- Bub isn't as lucky.
Robert causes Bub to change -- Bub is changed by Robert.
as well as the dualities within themselves:
Robert is blind BUT he still realizes more than...
Bub has working eyes BUT he shields himself from seeing ouside his own narrow views
Bub sees nothing special in a Cathedral's significance BUT he changes his mind when he draws one with Robert
These are only a few of the many, many changes or dualities that make Cathedrals so interesting or ironic, and finding them was kinda fun =]
