In the poem Amanda, Amanda is constantly scolded and instructed by an unseen adult. To escape this nagging, she retreats into fantasy in every alternate stanza.
Amanda craves freedom and silence because she is overwhelmed by constant instructions, which stifle her independence and peace.
The examiner expects you to identify the pattern (alternate stanzas = fantasy) and briefly explain why she escapes — the nagging and loss of freedom. Name at least two or three specific fantasies with their significance (freedom, silence, solitude). Avoid just listing; connect each fantasy to what she is escaping from.
