Answer:
Poem Amanda by ROBIN KLEIN depicts a child’s feelings about the restrictions his parents put on him/her. Children feel their parents don’t let them do many things they want to do.
The poem has a perfect structure following a specific rhyme pattern. The poem is in the form of a dialogue between a mother and her daughter, Amanda. The stanzas containing the mother’s dialogue are in aaba rhyme whereas the stanzas containing Amanda’s thoughts have aaa rhyming.
The stanzas in brackets reflect the dream world of Amanda which is totally different from her mother’s world of mundane reality.
