Dear teachers,
Would you be kind enough to give me your considered opinion concerning my interpretation of the expressions in bold in the following sentences?
I have made a point of traveling with a large sack filled to the brim with books to suit every possible occasion and every mood.
Blackberries tasted on rain. Soames made a point of eating one every year and by the flavor could tell what sort of year it had been.
make a point of doing something = insist on doing something, direct someone’s attention to, consider doing something one’s duty
However here is my card, since you make a point.
make something a point = press for something
