Appreciation

1. My father was not scientific, so I had to look for a road without having a map.

( Dr Frankenstein used a metaphor in the so-clause. He compared the road without any instructions to that without having a map in order to show he had to work hard to find a way to science by himself. )

Appreciation

2. I read all the books I could find that threw light upon these matters.

( “throw light upon” means “make…clear”. Here is another metaphor. He compared books to lights.)

throw light upon 阐明；帮助把……弄清楚

那些事实已经将那个问题弄得很清楚了。

The facts have thrown light upon the matter.
