Answer

The poem, "Amanda," is written by Robin Klein. It depicts the state of a little girl's mind who is constantly instructed about dos and don'ts by her mother and the elders. Amanda is constantly instructed what to do and what not to do by some of her family member, most probably the mother. She is directed in mostly all matters so it is assumed that she must be an immature school going child i.e. a teenage girl.
