Read a few lines from the poem 'Amanda' by Robin Klein.
Don't bite your nails, Amanda!
Don't hunch your shoulders, Amanda!
Stop that slouching and sit up straight, Amanda!
Did you finish your homework, Amanda?
Did you tidy your room, Amanda?
I thought I told you to clean your shoes, Amanda!
Don't eat that chocolate, Amanda!
Remember your acne, Amanda!
Will you please look at me when I'm speaking to you, Amanda!
Stop that sulking at once, Amanda!
You're always so moody, Amanda!
Anyone would think that I nagged at you, Amanda!
What do these lines remind you of?
Don't your parents give you a lot of instructions?
Write down a list of things that your parents/elders ask you to do/not to do.
Both the women in Angelou's Woman Work and Robin Klein's 'Amanda' lack freedom.
