The theme of The groundless Child by Gabrielle Roy is about how a simple action advise have a massive impact on our surround. In different words never on a lower floorestimate the power of a simple action. In the story we are introduced to a group of Mtis students, who are under privileged and are taught in poor working environments. Already we can see that these students do not have very much coin wise-. Despite their lack of necessities they were still able to give the gift of kindness, mention and love to their close friend Yolande.Their simple act of kindness not only changed their perspective on death however it as well as candid their hearts and pull up stakesed them to connect with their teacher throughout their moments of grief. By simply see Yolande before her burial helped the students cope with their misery and lift all the emotional weights from their flyspeck should ers. Not only did they show others that Yolande was not alone but they also proved to themselves that they were strong enough to understand death. As they are picking the flowers they are reminded of the hope among them and that everything will be okay. I regard the reason why this theme was used in the story is to allow readers to take the time to think about their actions and how it can affect themselves and their surroundings no matter how diminutivethe action may be- like more people say actions always speak louder than words.The face in my paradigm is Yolande. The ribbons of colors caressing Yolandes face re award all the feelings that were present throughout the story. Blue symbolizing sadness, white symbolizing purity, yellow symbolizes the imperfections in life and pink represents hope. The black background is the soil in which the roses grow out of and the same soil that will hold Yolandes system where she too will become a rose. The large stream of rose petals represent s the innocent and simple actions of the children. If you picture a stream they are commonly calm and quiet but if you look closer streams are also abundant filled with life just like the students in the story.The tiny bits of roses represent all the memories the children had with Yolande each rose petal builds a bigger rose. At the end of the story the children form a circle about Yolande and console themselves by telling one another She must have got to heaven by this time. Or She must be happy now. For a child to experience such a mature feeling is not only incredible but at the same time fascinating, and so all of these emotions have engraved their names onto the rose signifying an important moment in their lives, the moment when they learnt how to cope with grief and death.As a result of their simple acts of kindness each childs memory, feelings and actions make them a splendiferous rose. All these relate back to the theme because they illustrate all the extraordinary thing s the children and the teacher were able to experience and achieve through a simple action despite all the emotional, and mental struggles each character went through.
