The poem thus deals which a very important theme; freedom and liberty for children. Those who are brought up in restricted conditions are often moody and easily irritating.
Little Amanda seems to be a very creative child. She imagines to be a mermaid (an aquatic creature with the head and upper body of a female human and the tail of a fish) in the slow moving, green and quiet sea. Next, she imagines to be an orphan and walk with bare feet as a free child. Imagine how creative she is!.
