- 6. A mermaid, an orphan and Rapunzel — all free and peaceful.
- 7. The poem is structured around a clear contrast between two worlds. On one side is the voice of an adult, almost certainly a parent, who keeps issuing a stream of instructions and reproaches to Amanda — telling her to sit straight, finish her homework, clean her shoes, stop biting her nails and behave herself. This represents the controlling, fault-finding world of adult demands. On the other side is Amanda's inner world, into which she escapes through daydreams: she imagines herself as a serene mermaid drifting in the sea, as a carefree orphan wandering quiet streets, and as Rapunzel living peacefully in her tower. These dreams are calm, free and beautiful, in sharp contrast to the dull nagging around her. By setting these two voices side by side, Robin Klein shows how a child retreats into imagination to escape the pressures of constant correction.
