English - First Flight (Chapter Amanda! [poem]) Solution
 Thinking About The Poem

8. What does the girl yearn for? What does this poem tell you about Amanda?

Answer :


The girl yearns for a life of freedom and space for herself.

The poem tells us that she is an imaginative girl who is constantly nagged by her unimaginative parent. She is incapable to fulfill the expectations of her parents. Amanda is no less than a symbol for all the children who face similar fate irrespective of class, colour or nationality. Traditional societies demand a certain type of behaviour from the individuals and the training to produce such begins at a very young age. Parents ignore the innocence and understanding level of their children and thereby the young ends up killing their imagination and thoughts.
