Answer
$22$. The poem, "Amanda," is written by Robin Klein. It depicts the state of a little girl's mind who is constantly instructed about dos and don'ts by her mother and the elders.
Amanda is upset because of her mother's constant nagging. She starts getting irritated and ignores her instructions which her mother has considered to be sulky and moody. She wants a little freedom which she doesn't get so she starts assuming her as a mermaid or an orphan or Rapunzel, a princess to live in her own dream world. She is not at all sulky or moody but a normal teenage girl who has her ways to live and enjoy.
