    His style of writing was so unique that even students today, like me, are still studying his great work. One of Carvers most glorious work is “Cathedral” which is the art piece I will be analyzing. “Cathedral” at first portrays a very unpleasant vibe; it included a very racist, close-minded, and unloving husband. However, the reason this story fascinated me was mostly because of the meaningful twist at the very end. “Cathedral” had many elements to it that were distinctive much like Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s “The handsomest Droned Man in the World.”

    I know that the story is very close to wrapping up at this point because finishing the tunnel is one of the main focuses in the story, and when a main focus in a story is resolved, you know the book is coming to an end. The problem of the entire story is solved when Gerta, Fritz, Gerta’s mother, Anna, Anna’s mother and father, and lastly the wife of Muller, (I know, it’s a long story, I guess you’ll have to read the book!) escape to the West side of the wall. This is the resolution to the story because, like I said before, it is mainly the only thing that Gerta talks about any more to Fritz, and her mother. And in addition, it seems like Gerta is as happy as can be when they all escape to the other side of the wall. The theme of this story is definitely gaining freedom.
