"A Walk to Remember" by Nicholas Sparks
1)she pushed two fifty.
I wonder why the author used such a structure.
2)Miss Garber was big into the "self" stuff, which put her really ahead of the curve as far as psychotherapy is concerned.
a)I wonder why the author used the phrase "was big into"
b)The next problem part of the sentence is "which put her really ahead of the curve".
I wonder why the author used an expression "ahead of the curve" together with put". The phrase "ahead of the curve" is used as a substantival structure not as a verbal one in this very case.
Thanks in advance!!!
