“The Stolen Party” by Liliana Heker is the story of a young girl, who is the daughter of a maid by the name of Rosaura. Rosaura is invited to the birthday party of her friend Luciana, who coincidently is the daughter of the house Rosaura’s mom works for. In the beginning paragraphs of the story one gets the impression that Rosaura and her mom Herminia do not have a good relationship. Herminia constantly is criticizing Rosaura and putting her down (especially about her going to Luciana’s party). Eventually Rosaura is allowed to go to the party. As Rosaura entered the party she was kindly greeted by the lady of the house Senora Ines, she would never expect it would be a horrible day for. As the party progressed Rosaura was the center of attention, she had won all the games that took place. She even wasn’t scared of holding a monkey while a magician preformed a trick. There were sporadic times when she was discreetly asked by Senora Ines to help out in the kitchen and run errands. As the party ended Senora Ines began passing out the party gifts to the guest’s, which included yo-yo’s for boys and bracelets for girls. When Rosaura’s turn came she was ‘awarded’ two dollars for her hard work at the party
