Barbara Cochran (a guest user) asked this question:

Language pair:	Spanish > English
Subject:	Other
Level of diffculty:	Easy / medium
Word or term in question:	primera armadura
Context:	Tenía la sensación, no sólo que todo lo que estaba contando era verdad, sino de que...
Keywords:	...únicamente podía contarse de otra manera. Así que cuando comencé a escribir podría haber dicho cosas como "Había una vez una planeta en el que todo era de color rojo" porque aquella era mi primera armadura: sabía, sin ser consciente de saberlo, que la oralidad no cuestiona, no pone en duda, no reta. Y que rojo en voz alta quiere decir exactamente esto...Conversion of oral history into a written novel/memoir.

My comment:

It refers to the author's early experience of storytelling, her experience of how stories are structured, the narrative techniques that give a story its shape.
