Answer:
The author feels it is important to show that Bell was not the true inventor of the telephone
Explanation:
According to the excerpt from "The Telephone: A Truer Tale", it is narrated that the invention of the telephone in 1876 was not as accurate as it has been widely publicised. The narrator is of the opinion that Alexander Graham Bell was not the inventor of the telephone because he was only two years old when it was invented and could not possibly have said those first words.
Based on this excerpt, the statement that describes the author’s attitude toward Alexander Graham Bell is that the author feels it is important to show that Bell was not the true inventor of the telephone.
In her poem “The Fish,” Bishop describes her emotions when she catches a big fish and observes it carefully. The poet’s imagist style is found in her detailed description of the fish that she caught:
its pattern of darker brown
was like wallpaper:
shapes like full-blown roses
stained and lost through age.
Instead of using a specific rhyme scheme to give the poem a musical quality, Bishop uses literary devices, such as alliteration, to create rhythm in her poem:
still crimped from the strain and snap
She also creates a musical rhythm within the lines by using assonance:
frayed and wavering,
a five-haired beard of wisdom
trailing from his aching jaw.
I stared and stared
