It is a nice short story. It is peaceful and comfortable to read.
The first person narration makes this story coming naturally and smoothly. The background statement is plentiful and the characters are also vivid and easy to picture for readers. This story shows a clear personal change on interpersoanl communication and relationships. The narrator has an epiphany when he was struggling for the words to describe to Robert what the cathedral looks like. However, with Robert’s encouragement, he made it.
This close personal connection and intimate moment of communication makes huge impact on him. The narrator feels able to connect with Robert, which is also the moment that he can put aside his insecurities and actually interact with other people. It changes the narrator; he says, “It was like nothing else in my life up to now.”
Overall, it is really ingenious ncie short story.
