The answer is as follows:
In the poem Amanda, written by the poet Robin Klein, we follow the story of the daughter Amanda who is always criticized by her mother who points out every flaw and instructs her not to do certain things under the guise of protection and barely gives her any room to breathe.
- Due to being overwhelmed when Amanda is sad, her mother tells her not to sulk because then it will look like her mother was nagging at her. Even though that is what happened, this is the irony in the poem,
- Irony is said to have occurred when the opposite of what one expected happens; therefore, that is why the mother says it would look like she nagged her when that is what she is doing is the irony.
