Read the last stanza. Do you think Amanda is sulking and is moody?
उत्तर
No, Amanda is neither sulking nor moody. She is simply not interested enough in the nagging business of her parents. Amanda cares more about her imagination and thought process over the manners her parents are trying to inculcate into her.
