Q10. What problems does Amanda's parent have with her attitude and behaviour?
Answers
Answer:
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. Further, she is nagged for not cleaning her room and shoes and also for not doing her homework. Next, Amanda is scolded for eating too many chocolates as this causes pimples. She is also scolded for not listening to her mother. 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.
