After reading the story The Stolen Party, it made me think that Senora Ines was cruel and unkind and rude. Now, after rereading and focusing on certain parts of the story, i realize that what senora Ines did was very important. The story was about a girl named Rosaura, who's mother worked as a made for a rich family. Rosaura was invited to a birthday party at the house her mother works in. When she told her mother, she said that Rosaura couldn't go, but Rosaura went anyways. At the party, she learned that not everybody is the way you thought they were.
          The conversation Rosaura has with her mother, Herminia in the beginning of the book shows that Rosaura took charge over her mother instead of the other way around. Rosaura yelled at her and didn't believe a thing her mother said about the party. Her mother told her that people would treat her like the daughter of  maid instead of how she should be treated, which is as a guest. And her mother made it very clear that she didn't think fondly of rich people, which cause Rosaura to say, "Rich people go to heaven too."  
          During the party, Rosaura is convinced that her mother was wrong. She has fun talking to all the other children at the party, playing games, helping the magician, and helping Senora Ines hand out food and drinks. She tells a guest at the party that she is the daughter of the employee, and is proud of it. Even though she didn't listen to her mnother about coming to the party, she listened to what her mother told her to do once she got there.
          Once I read the end, I thought Senora Ines was terrible. Now, my views on the end have changed. Rosaura's mother told her almost exactly what would happen at the party, but Rosaura didn't believe her. She had to live through it and experience it herself for her to understand what her mother was telling her. If Herminia took charge over Rosaura and kept her from going to the party, Rosaura would have never learned about people and the way they think and feel. She wouldn't have learned that not everybody believes in equality.
