Question

The speaker criticises her daughter for being 'moody.' Do you think Amanda is a moody child? Why/Why not?​

Answer 1

In the poem "Amanda", the speaker is Amanda's mother and she criticizes Amanda for being moody. An example of a personal opinion about that is the following:

I do not think Amanda is a moody child. Her mother says she is always sulking, but Amanda is actually lost in a world of her own, a world of her dreams. For that reason, she ignores her mother's instructions, which makes her mother say Amanda is moody.

The poem "Amanda":

• Amanda is a little girl, and the poem concerns her upbringing. Amanda is not allowed to be and express herself. She is not given independence, especially by her mother.

Is Amanda moody?

• This is what her mother says:

Stop that sulking at once, Amanda!

You’re always so moody, Amanda!

Anyone would think that I nagged at you,

Amanda!

• However, Amanda is not moody or sulking. She has just escaped to a dreamy world, where life is better than real life. Her mother interprets Amanda's lack of interest as moodiness, but Amanda is simply ignoring her.
