Question

3. How does the author utilize foreshadowing to underscore Señora Ines's final action? How is Señora

Answer 1

Answer:

The author has used foreshadowing in the story to display that Rosaura will remain a maid's daughter to everyone, regardless of her education.

Senora Ines's treatment of Rosaura is different from other party guests as everyone else were given gifts but to Rosaura, Ines gave money for rendering help in the party.

Explanation:

'The Stolen Party' is a short story written by Liliana Heker. The story is about a young little girl named Rosaura and loss of her innocence crushed under the cruelty social class.

The author has used foreshadowing in the story to depict Senora Ines's final action. When Rosaura's mother raise suspicion upon Rosaura's invite to the party, the incident foreshadows the ending of the story.

When Rosaura's mother told Rosaura that 'That one’s not your friend. You know what you are to them?  The maid’s daughter, that’s what”

This statement foreshadows Senora Ines's final action when she gives Rosaura money instead of gifts.

Senora Ines's treatment of Rosaura differs from how she treated other's at the party. When the party ended, Senora gave everyone gifts. To boys she gave a bag of 'yo-yo' and to girls a 'bracelet'. But when she came to Rosaura, she handed her money which implied that Rosaura was not invited as a guest to the party rather as a maid's daughter.
