Uddrag
This situation turned out to be a very bad decision for Flora because she ends up getting kicked out “I want you to leave!” sobbed the mother. “Don’t worry.

I’m going,” said Flora.” (p. 5 ll. 193-194) The dress that was ruined was green. Green with envy could symbolize being full of desire for someone's possessions or advantages.

The theme in this text is neglecting is especially seen when Flora is desperately screaming for attention by stealing the dress from Rachel, and the mother isn't able to give her daughters the attention they need.
