Daniel's notebook entry: I can't understand what it means?
An English book I'm studying says;
"What part does what you have to say take in your larger purposes, and in the larger purposes
still in which you take part?"
I tried to understand this sentence several times, but I couldn't catch the meaning of it.
I think there are simple vacabulary in this sentence, however the structure is
very hard for me to understand it.
How can I translate this sentence into Korean? Or
How can I express it more and more easily in English.

Daniel's notebook entry: I can't understand what it means?
I will write what interpretation in English I can - but the sentence SUCKS basically... andis NOTHING you need to learn to speak the English language in America or to Americans.
"What part (what role) does what you have to say (of what you said) take (is applicable to) in your larger purposes (what your main goal is?),
Meaning > How much of what you said is about your main goal?
....and in the larger purposes still (the bigger picture) in which you take part (what is your role)?"
Meaning > ...and how does what you said apply to the bigger picture? < reality
Please check the words exactly. Is this what it says? What book says this??!!!
Even to ME a born in the USA American / fluent - this sentence doesn't make sense.
So I wonder what era (century) it is said in .... some gothic novel or something??? Some
sci-fi movie???!
What you can learn from this is - don't assume everything you read is correct English.
I suggest skipping it.
