Amanda desires to be free from constant instructions and nagging. She imagines herself as a mermaid gliding in the sea, an orphan roaming the streets, or Rapunzel in a tower — all symbolising a life of calm, silence, and independence. She craves freedom from restrictions imposed on her.
The examiner expects you to mention: (1) that Amanda is constantly instructed/nagged, and (2) the specific images of freedom she imagines (mermaid, orphan, Rapunzel). Both points together cover the 2 marks. Note: The source passages provided do not contain this poem, so this answer is based on the CBSE Class 10 poem "Amanda!" by Robin Klein from the prescribed textbook.
