Amanda Long Answer Question<\/strong><\/p>\nQuestion 1. \n\u2018Living with one\u2019s head in the air\u2019 is what Amanda epitomizes. Justify with examples from the poem. \nAnswer: \nInstead of paying attention to the diktat of not biting her nails and sitting upright, Amanda daydreams about an emerald sea where she is the sole mermaid. Pensively, Amanda imagines herself a neglected urchin-cum-orphan, patterning soft dust with unshod feet. Instead of hearing the warnings about not eating the chocolate as it will bring on the acne, and listen attentively, Amanda imagines she is Rapunzel, with long tresses.<\/p>\n
Amanda imagines that like the fairy-story character, she will dwell in the tower quietly and take care not to let down her hair lest the witch climbs up with its help. Ultimately, Amanda is given an ultimatum to stop being moody and sulking, whereas Amanda is simply daydreaming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
