Stolen party 1/14/13

The Stolen Party, is about a girl, Rosaura,who goes to a party thinking shes going as a guest, but actually shes going as a server. Her mother is the maid for the hosts of the party Rosaura's going to, she tries to stop her from going to the part, but Rosaura still goes. Rosaura was asked to serve food countless times during the party. At the end of the party, Rosaura didn't receive a goody bag, instead she got money for her service, she then realizes that she was invited to that party to serve. I think that Rosaura was blind and she thought that she had power but she was actually resisted the power by not realizing that she was at that party to serve food.  

For example Rosaura was asked to serve the cake, she was too blind to see that she was being a servant. If Rosaura wasn't there to serve food then you would think she has power when handing out the cake, since she decides who gets what piece. That's not the reason she's there, she's there to help serve, which means that everyone at the party can boss her around, but she doesn't know that. She thinks she has power but the more serves food, the more she's actually resisting power ( but she doesn't know that ). She was blind and manipulated by Luciana, the daughter of the family who Rosaura's mom cleans for, Luciana made Rosaura think she was a friend, but actually just another worker. 

This book showed me that everything is not as it seems, Rosaura thought it was a privilege to help serve, but it was more a job. I too like to help out a lot, nothing like Rosaura's situation but I think I have that in common with Rosaura. The message relates to many teens, because the manipulation Luciana did to Rosaura, teens around the world do the same thing for a good laugh, to get things, and other horrible embarrassing things. Teens don't manipulate people for situations like Luciana did in the story, but many do manipulating to make people think that their friends with the person doing the manipulating like in the stolen party.
