Select the correct text in the passage.
which sentence in the passage indicates that the author has a negative point of view about the violin?

my parents gave me a violin for my ninth birthday. from what i can remember, there was no reason for them to give me one. i never asked them for a violin. after seeing the face that i made when i saw the violin for the first time, my dad said, “if you practice enough, you might become a famous violinist.” to this day, i cannot imagine why a person would say that to a nine-year-old. i did not want to be a famous violinist. violins were for rich, snobby people—i just wanted to be in a rock-and-roll band. i told my dad that i wanted to be a rock star, and he just shook his head. i assumed, incorrectly, that i was done with the violin. the next day my dad took me to a music store. as he looked at the cds, i wandered over to the magazines. i was looking through a magazine when i felt somebody tap on my shoulder. it was my father. before i could say anything, he said, “i just bought this, and you should check it out! ” i looked at the cd he thrust toward me. it was an album titled cosmic messenger by jean-luc ponty. i thought to myself, “what am i supposed to do with this? " my dad must have noticed the look on my face because he quickly responded by saying, “this guy plays the violin, just like you. only he plays a violin that he runs through a bunch of machines, which make it sound like a guitar. i guess you could say that he’s a rock-and-roll violinist.”

Read this excerpt from “what i hope to leave behind.” for a number of years it took so much vitality to keep the home going, and that home represented so many different kinds of activities, that none of us had any urge to go outside of this sphere. if “what i hope to leave behind” was the subject of a class discussion, why might paraphrasing this sentence be ? you could analyze the key themes while also staying true to the original language. you could summarize the key ideas, which would shorten the length of the excerpt. you could use your own ideas and concepts, which would add important information. you could rephrase it in your own words, which might clarify the meaning of the excerpt.
