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.”
