In Liliana Heker’s “The Stolen Party,” Rosaura is invited to Luciana’s birthday party. Luciana’s family was considered to be a rich family with a high class ranking as they are provided with a maid which is coincidentally, Rosaura’s mother. However, through the work of her mother, Rosaura was able to meet Luciana, who seemed liked a charming young girl. Every work day, Luciana and Rosaura would do their homework together while waiting for Rosaura’s mother to finish up.

Why the magician picked her seems to be fairly reasonable as she was the most able-bodied person to since she was after, only the daughter of the maid. She wasn’t regarded as an invitee but rather as a worker being employed at the party. Also, the fact of this true intention for the party was also reaffirmed when she was given her “gift” at the end of her party. All of Luciana’s other gifts were given a gift, such as a yo-yo, but instead Rosaura received payment for all the work she has done at the party. If she was like any other of Luciana’s friends, then she should’ve expected to receive a present similar to what the others had been given. However, she was not given an ordinary gift but rather a payment for all the hardwork that she inputted to make Luciana’s party a great party.
