Question

Sum up the conversation that takes place between the photographer and the author.

Answer 1

The conversation begins when the photographer examines the narrator and starts pointing out faults in his face. He gives him instructions to change his posture and facial features and later suggests several methods of improving the photograph. The narrator initially cooperates but becomes increasingly irritated by the photographer’s criticism. Finally, he firmly tells the photographer that the face is his own and that he has lived with it for forty years. When he sees the altered photograph later, he rejects it as a worthless “bauble.”
