Mouhcen Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Hi I am new on this forum. I am reading the book of paulo coelho titled the Spy, on the first paragraphe of this book i dont understand this sentence : "I have always been an optimistic women, but time has left me bitter, alone, and sad. " I can't find the relation between the first part of the sentence (optimism) and the seconde one (time). Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Is this for a (school) assignment? If so, I'm sorry but we cannot help you. As per our forum rules, we do not allow new members to sign up just to ask for help with their homework, dissertation or survey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athena Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 In that case, I expect the reason of why the woman has become sad and bitter over time, will be explained in the book somewhere. But I haven't read the book, so I can't tell you for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I would agree with Athena. It sounds like the first line is an opening gambit - I imagine that the rest of the book describes why and how she goes from being optimistic to sad.
