Essay On The Stolen Party

424 Words2 Pages

Sometimes, friendships can be tricky, like between Luciana and Rosaura in the short story The Stolen Party by Liliana Heker. Rosaura believes that Luciana and her are great friends but if you asked Luciana, she wouldn’t agree. In The Stolen Party by Liliana Heker, the theme is obviously that friendships can be one-sided because Rosaura believes Luciana and her are good friends but it is shown by descriptive language and hints from the author that Rosaura is just at Luciana’s party to work.

Some people might interpret this the wrong way and assume she just likes to help out but really it’s showing how Rosaura is at the party to work, and not because she is a friend of Luciana. Though some people might say the theme is fake friends are obvious to see, this claim is incorrect because the real theme is that friendship can be
