In "The Stolen Party", by Liliana Heker, consider the story's title. In what ways was the party "stolen"?

The title of Liliana Heker's "The Stolen Party" offers a
very indirect interpretation of the meaning.

The story is
about a house cleaner and her daughter. The daughter, unaware of her "predicament" as
the child of a lower class woman, feels no apprehension at attending a birthday party
given by her mother's employer. When the employer, Sefiora Ines, offers Rosaura (the
daughter) money, something changes.

Rosaura, to this point,
has not been forced to define the stereotypes of society. She has not had to face the
differences between what it meant to be rich and what it meant to be poor. It is the
fact that Ines offers her money over the gifts given to other party-goers (yo-yos and
bracelets) that she comes to understand she is not "like
them."

Therefore, the title of the story refers to the fact
that Rosaura's innocence has been stolen from her at the party.
