Answers
The biography of Sir Isaac Newton is from the collection of biographies by Nathaniel Hawthorne.
Reason for the author's view
- Sir Isaac Newton lived with his kind old grandmother and he was not good at studies in his early days.
- But he was very good at making things.
- He made his own set of tools and saws with which he exhibited his workmanship in making various different objects.
- These were greatly admired by his grandmother and the neighbors and made him a mechanical genius.
- This made the author feels that Newton seemed to have been born with a saw or chisel in his hand.
Hope this helps.
The author says that Newton seemed to have been born with a saw or chisel in his hand because since his early childhood days he was interested in making little tools and saws. He made many curious articles with the help of those tools and saws. He worked with tools with a lot of skill and efficiency.
