Thank you, Josney.
I got these definitions from WordNet dictionary, but still the meaning was not that clear to me.
Best regards,
Priscila

Subject: Re: Meaning of an _expression_
I googled the definition and the result was this:
fill out; "These studies round out the results of many years of research"
make bigger or better or more complete
round off: express as a round number; "round off the amount"
round: make round; "round the edges"
It means that the conclusion is leading to a more concrete explanation.
Hope it helps,
Josney

Hi, everybody,
I am preparing an essay about a short story from a fantastic Russian writer named Anton P. Chekhov (1860-1904).
While reading the papers suggested by my professor, I came across a term I found quite difficult to understand: "to round out".
I'll write the context down here:
"The very essence of a conclusion contains a hidden danger for the wirter. Despise the relative variety possible in an ending... all lead in the end to the same thing: the danger of a specific and commomplace 'rounding out'."
I guess I could not understand this _expression_ in the mathematical way - that is, filling something up to get a complete meaning. Could anybody help me?
Thanking you in advance,
Priscila |
