I didn’t understand “The Garden of Forking Paths” by Jorge Luis Borges. I usually read only the textbooks used in class and have never read novels or fiction in the English language before, which make it difficult for me. It is the same as when I read newspapers in the English language, the language that journalists use is different from that in the textbooks that I study in classes. I hope someone can help me understand what points Borges wishes to make.
