Hispanic country where Spanish is the official language. I think Spanish is one of the most wonderful languages in the world.

unique among the characters in Cathedral or among the characters of earlier volumes. In Will You Be Quiet, Please? there is the paranoid self-cloistering of Slater and Arnold Breit, and in What We Talk About When We Talk About Love we read of James Packer's cantankerous,self-absorbed disgruntlement about life's injustices. In Cathedral appear other, more extreme versions of insularity,from a husband's self-imposed confinement to a living room in "Preservation" to another's pathetic reluctance to leave
Mel McGinnis of “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love” seems like that one guy that everyone seems to know. He stands out from others; he’s unique. You either love him or hate him. Mel is very much like one of my good friends. They are both very individualistic and hey are both annoying drunks. They are both interesting characters though.

McCrea Mrs. Knapp English IV Concurrent 3 March 2024 Love Is a Word Love is a powerful and complex human emotion. How an individual comes to understand love evolves over time, and these differences can be expressed and exemplified through literature. Both William Shakespeare, in his poem titled “Let me not to the marriage of true minds,” and Raymond Carver, in his short story, “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love,” explore the idea of love, though in dramatically different ways.

I didn’t think it would be this hard to not really talk to you because it has only been a few hours, but not talking to you killed me you were literally on my mind all day and I missed you so much. I don’t want us going a day or days without talking to each other anymore because that gives us room to talk to someone else.
