The document asks two questions about short stories and how they portray family relationships and heritage. It first asks about the relationship between the narrator and wife in "Cathedral" and if it will change after a certain experience, and about the significance of a character's lack of vision. It then asks about how quilts in Alice Walker's "Everyday Use" symbolize a family's heritage, and how two characters view that heritage as represented by the quilts. The document requests a 500 word response analyzing these elements of the two stories.
