There was a great deal of irony in Liliana Hecker's"The Stolen Party". Rosaura was going to a party because her so called friend invited her. She was so naive she went even when her mother warned her that they might use her. When she went to the party, she was so happy to be there. She was dressed up and her was all nice. They tell her that she could be the magicians assistant and they let her serve the cake. Then at the end, when Senora Ines was passing out prizes to all of Luciana, Rosaura's friend, friends, instead of giving a prize she received money. That were the irony cones in. You probably excepted that she get a prize for coming but she got money. Why? Because Rosaura's mom was a maid. That's why she passed the cake and was an assistant and was payed actual money, because they were using her as a maid, just like her mom. To sum it all up, you expected Rosaura to have a good time and get a prize, but it turned it that she was being used.
