I need your help to my reading of a paperback book.?
I was reading a novel called "historian" and I found out because he had a phrase that could not understand anything. Here is a complete sentence. "With the fall school would come and if I wa lucky, a little studying itinerant with my father, who roamed a map of the negotiations, commitments, offers, and bitter. In this sentence, what does "ran a map of negotiaion ,,,," mean? A map of the negotiation, compromise and offers bitter???? Please help me out. (If you have time, could complete sentence anaylize word for word ..?) PS: Is there a good place or website that teaches how to read English? I know a lot of good websites for English converstaino or pronunciatin and so on, but not for reading English. If you know of that, please let me know. Thanks ~
Well ... I have the book, but I have not read yet, so maybe I'll come back to you when I checked everything. But apparently ... it must have something to do with the race of his father. He is probably a businessman of some kind, so I will have (this is the language of literature itself is everything flowly and not direct) that has to negotiate, compromise and negotiate with people all over the place, therefore "walk the map ', as in travel. ... Or maybe if you have to do everything with the negotiation and people in very different ways, like all roads soon on a map, so it is very difficult ...? But what affects the story if you miss this? =) Try that and not give up on a line. The group quoted phrase? What else Do not you understand? School starts in the fall, and when school begins, the narrator's father would take her to his studio and stuff. I do not know ... as I said, have not read the book yet! Good luck, and enjoy. He looked amused.
