Misunderstand Reality In Liliana Heker's The Stolen Party

In The Stolen Party By Liliana Heker, the author uses symbolism, hyperbole, and personification to address that someone can misunderstand reality. In the story the author shows how the main character Rosara, the daughter of a maid was invited to a birthday party for a different reason then she thought. When the character was invited she thought it was because she was a friend of the birthday girl, rosara had little to not reason to think she wasn't a friend of her.

This shows that she was in fact very desperate to go to the party because she would not have actually died if she didnt go. But she was desperate for the wrong reason because she would actually be going as a maid herself.

This proves the opponent that there is symbolism, hyperbole, and personification involved in the stolen
