Independent Practice: The Stolen Party

How does the invitation to Luciana’s birthday party create conflict in the story?

• It causes Rosaura to disagree with her mother’s opinion.

• It causes Señora Ines to bring a monkey into the house.

• It causes the girl with the bow to be jealous of Rosaura.

• It causes the magician to hurt a boy's feelings.

How is the conflict in the story resolved?

• Luciana makes it clear that she does not think of Rosaura as a friend.

• Rosaura realizes her mother was right about her friendship with Luciana.

• Señora Ines makes it clear that she sees Rosaura and her mother as friends.

• Rosaura’s mother realizes Rosaura was right about her friendship with Luciana.

Which piece of evidence best demonstrates that Rosaura and Luciana are not part of the same community?

• A. “That one’s not your friend. You know what you are to them? The maid’s daughter, that’s what.” (Paragraph 7)

• B. “They had their tea in the kitchen and they told each other secrets. Rosaura loved everything in the big house, and she also loved the people who lived there.” (Paragraph 9)

• C. “Rosaura remembered a story in which there was a queen who had the power of life or death over her subjects.” (Paragraph 36)

• D. “Rosaura didn’t feel like explaining that she’d be horribly ashamed to be the odd one out. Instead she said: ‘I was the best-behaved at the party.’” (Paragraph 57)

Consider the confrontation between Rosaura and her mother at the beginning of the story. Based on what we learn at the end of the story, was it right for Rosaura’s mother to discourage her from going to the party?

• Yes, it was right because Rosaura faced discrimination at the party.

• No, it was not right because Rosaura enjoyed the party.

• Yes, it was right because Rosaura learned a valuable lesson.

• No, it was not right because Rosaura's mother was being overprotective.

Señora Ines's offer at the end of the story was:

• courteous

• rude

• kind

• generous

How do the rest of Luciana’s friends get along with Rosaura?

• They are confused by why she is at the party.

• They exclude her because they don’t know her.

• They accept her and want to play with her.

• They treat her differently because her mother is an employee.
