Keilani Spahn Mrs. Moretti English 3H 1A 20 August 2012 Descriptive Language In the short story “The Stolen Party,” Liliana Heker uses lots of descriptive language to describe Rosaura’s experience at a birthday party. For example, when Rosaura is passing around cake to the other kids, she remembers a story, “in which there was a queen who had the power of life or death over her subjects. She had always loved that, having the power of life or death.” Furthermore, this illustrates how the main character is relating past occurrences to the present event taking place.

It also goes way slower than the movie so readers get attached to a little 12 year old girl named Rue who is like Katniss’s little sister Prim. Rue is really important to the story because Katniss and her get bonding time and when Rue dies Katniss covers and decorates her in flowers. It adds a bond between the districts.

The wonderful world In the dramatic short story, “The Stolen Party,” by Liliana Heker, a single event can affect an individual’s perception or outlook of themselves and the people around them; Rosaura’s self perception is presented through her attitude and reaction to receiving money instead of a toy, as well as her mother’s outlook on society and finally Senora Ines’ perception of lower class groups.

Eva had gotten her a dress she had requested at Milwards and was present while she tried it on. She ‘caught sight of this girl smiling – as if to say: doesn’t she look awful’. Sheila was furious with Eva, but admitted to the Inspector it was mostly jealousy as she was such a pretty girl. Although Sheila got her fired from her last stable job I don’t think she is the most to blame, however she does hold a large part of the responsibility.

The reader’s interpretation of these characters is how Nick sees them and describes them, which is why his protagonist role is very important in the way in which the story is told throughout the novel.
