I am reading a novel entitled 'Spying on Gran' by Jennifer L. Armstrong. could you please explain to me the meaning of the red line below
No one has the right to complain about his life.Thatwas the opinion of Boneh P. Cheeseman. No onehas the right to complain because they didn’t have his life. Forone thing, they didn’t have his name. It was a matter of routine at schoolto be called Cheddarman, Swissman, and by the moresophisticated, Brieman. The Boneh didn’t help either. It was a fine namefor his grandfather who it had originatedwith, but not for a fifteen-year-old living in thetwenty-first century. It was Hebrew for beaver.
Hisgreatgrandfather had been some kindof an English theologian who studied the Old Testament in Hebrew.When he had come to Canada, he had named his son forthe great Canadian symbol.Using the P. wouldn’t help. In a complete lapseof sanity, his mother had given himthe middle name of Percival.
