Response to Carver: this novel introduces an story happens between the narrator, the narrator's wife, Laura, and a blind friend of the narrator's wife, Robert. At the beginning of the novel, the narrator's wife told the narrator that her blind friends who has not meet for 10 years is going to visit her. Laura also tells Terri that once when Robert touch her face, she got a unique feeling that she never felt before. That makes Terri unhappy of course. However, in the end of the story, when Terri holding Robert's hand drawing a Cathedral, he got the unique feeling as well. Terri get a totally different feeling and fully understand his wife.

I like this novel because by telling a story between blind people and normal people, the author introduces us a new way to feel the world. Sometimes people would feel the world much more different if they change a way to experience it. This reminds me of our MP 4. We separate the video to sound and image first. Then combine them after polishing and finally generate a brand new feeling. This novel offers us an idea of discovering the world we known in a new way, which I think is really interesting.

Response to Wallace: The author introduces an idea that we could change our attitude if we can not change the position we are in. This idea is really brilliant because everyone have hard time in their lives. With this idea, one then could be able to choose to be positive or negative themselves. As a student in OSU, I sometimes may mistakenly take some really difficult lessons that I would never want to go to anymore after the first exam. Keep a positive attitude myself is essential to me at this point of time.

The question I have to this article is that since the author express an idea that we could choose to be positive or negative ourselves, why I still feel his article negative after I reading it? Why don't he express the same idea in a positive way.
