He was not present in her life and now he has passed away, leaving her with a yearning for something that she will never obtain. It is apparent that she feels negatively toward her father; although, she loves him still after being a horrible father to her.

In both pieces “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury and “See You Again” by Wiz Khalifa the authors use the craft moves of revealing actions to create similarities and differences in between the themes of both pieces. To start with, both themes create a sense of some kind of loss for the main character in the story and the singer in the song to reveal actions to create similarities. The main character in “All Summer in a Day”, Margot is experiencing tough times because she is really missing the Sun. Bradbury writes “All day yesterday they had read in class about the sun.

His wife had died” (Carver 84). This shows his attitude towards blind people by pointing out that Robert is blind, and not just an “old friend of [his] wife’s” (Carver 84). Carver develops the two main characters to completely contrast one and other both physically, and psychologically. The narrator in the story represents a person who sees but cannot “see” and Robert as the character who can “see” but lacks the ability to see with his eyes.

The husband’s actions and behavior change drastically throughout “Cathedral”. He went from a stubborn attitude towards Robert to being sympathetic at the end. The very first line of Cathedral the husband refers to Robert as “this blind man”, which gives you a little taste of his attitude towards blind people.

Since the death of his daughter he becomes deep depressed, does not react on real world and refuses to work. His creative ideas and a secret of the agency success were reaching people out through love, time and death. The tragedy has caused him to write letters to them.

A lot of people who bid their thoughts on this say that even though Charlie Whales, the father of Honoria, wife of Helen, says he changed and resolved his addiction to not drinking anymore, some still get a feeling of disagreement. Charlie can endure some hardships to face and overcome, but in my point of view he performed this to
