th
7 stanza:
Stop that sulking at once, Amanda!
You’re always so moody, Amanda!
Anyone would think that I nagged at you,
Amanda!
In this stanza, Amanda’s mother tells her to stop sulking.
She also accuses her daughter of having mood swings
very frequently. Finally, she tells Amanda that anyone
who saw her would think that her mother has been
nagging at her. It is obvious that Amanda’s mother feels
it is her duty to correct her daughter and to teach her the
proper way to behave, and she does not believe that this
can be an exhausting or irritating experience for
Amanda.
