Answer» The greatest wealth that child wants is his or her freedom and the thing that he or she never like. Is the constant nagging and unwanted instructions and over protection of parents. Amanda is a poem of a young girl who is constantly control to do one thing or other by her parents. Every child wants to enjoy the dream world of his or her childhood. So, he or she does not want to cut this romantic and facinating world. Any kind of instructions cuttle his or her freedom. He or she does not want to be denied chocolates and want to sit and behave exactly what she want. He or she would rather induldge in fantasis clean his or her room or shoes. He or she want to remain a child just a little bit longer. The poem describes a girl named Amanda and her mother who is nagging her for her mistakes. She is first pointed out most probably by her mother for biting her nails and for not sitting in the right posture. The mother also feels that Amanda sits in a very lazy manner. To this, Amanda imagines herself as a mermaid who lives a calm and relaxing life in the beautiful green sea. Further, she is nagged for not cleaning her room and shoes and also for not doing her homework. She then imagines herself to be an orphan because she is now fed up of being watched by her parents continuously. She says that she would have enjoyed her freedom then, by making the patterns of her bare feet on the sand and would live a peaceful life. Next, Amanda is scolded for eating too many chocolates as this causes pimples. She is also scolded for not listening to her mother. So, now Amanda thinks of being Rapunzel, a character from a fairy tale and wants to live in a huge tower like her. In the tower she will be alone and will live a peaceful life and will never allow anyone to come in. Finally, the mother asks her to stop being moody because she doesn’t want anyone to blame her for harassing her daughter. At this time the poet has not written any reaction from Amanda’s side. This constant nagging has made her so sad that she has even stopped to imagine herself as someone else. She used to do so in order to escape from the continuous harassment and dominance of her parents. |
