Rosaura was speechless. She wanted to yell and and scream and punch Senora Ines in the stomach but she stood rooted to the spot and unmoving, still fixed with hands clenched and a cold stare. Senora Ines, still with her arm outstretched, said something in her saccharine sugary voice: “Are you okay?” Rosaura, disgusted with Senora Ines’ tone, picked herself up, grimacing and uttered in a trembling voice, “I hate you.” Senora Ines looked astonished as well as upset. Her mother looked very angered at both Senora Ines and her daughter. Rosaura looked just as mad as her mother but remained still, and silent. She repeated the words again, but in a stronger, steadier voice “I hate you.” As the guests all poured out of the party and each received their special gift, Rosaura saw Luciana in her golden crown sparkling in the sunset and red and orange silk dress lightly skimming the stiff grass. The way the wind blew her dress look like the …show more content…
licking flames of a candle as she came tearing out of the house in anger. “Mother, what do you think that you are doing?
I invited Rosaura as a guest and I cannot believe how careless you’ve been to-” “Luciana, get away. You know what I said about hanging out with worthless people from lower classes.” “How dare you call my friend worthless. She is anything but worthless. She is a countess, and a really kind and smart person.” “Friend? Countess? Really? I already told you to forget it with the lower class children. I thought a good daughter of a respected wealthy woman would stick their nose up in front of the poor. You Luciana, have disgraced our family!” “Your actions obviously prove that your wealth taught you nothing. I’d rather be penniless than stick around with you. How dare you call yourself a respected wealthy woman!” Each word was hard and strong like a cookie cutter into dough.Senora Ines looked shocked that her daughter would ever say such thing to her. With a displeasing huff she stormed away with a dirty look on her face. As for Rosaura, her mother gave her a strange look and walked away as
well. “I guess it's just us now.” Luciana gave a weak grin and nodded. “I doubt if my parents are ever going to forgive me for that” “Same here. I never realized how empty this place has become.” “Yeah.” Rosaura smiled. They were friends now, and friends always. As if a strong wall was smashed apart, like an endless breakthrough in life that will be woven for years and years as a long lasting legacy that will not be broken.
The dress was adorned with ruffles all the way around the top of the sweet-heart neckline and sleeves, and also all along the bottom. The garment also had multiple layers. One layer was of a lavender color. There was also a layer on top of that, which was made of a more sheer-material and had stripes of off-white and lavender. This second layer was subtle enough to add shiny detail, without taking away from the beautiful purple color. The dress also had a sash of the second layer’s same material, around the waist. My garment was rich in
She begins to speak directly to the reader, getting them to realize that even though they have read her thoughts, they do not quite understand them. She tells the reader they are
"Why did n't you marry yourself to a millionaire? You always want to make yourself like Mrs. Preston who got millions laying in the bank."
Before the party, Rosaura is a very optimistic individual. The first example of Rosaura being optimistic occurs while she is speaking to her mother. Rosaura says, “rich people go to heaven too” (Heker 3). Here, Rosaura has a positive outlook in all types of people and feels that all individuals go to heaven. The second example of Rosaura expressing her optimism occurs while she is talking about the party. Rosaura explains, “I'm going because it will be the most lovely party in the world: (3). Although she really does not know how the party will be, Rosaura still maintains a positive and optimistic attitude. Lastly, Rosaura portrays her optimism when her mother accuses all rich people of being liars. She thinks to herself, “it [was]unfair of her mother to accuse others of being liars simply because they were rich” (3) Once again, Rosaura displays her optimism by ignoring her mother's negative opinion. Therefore, it is evident that Rosaura is an extremely optimistic young girl prior to her even attending the party.
...n her mind is more important than his words. It is an example of the patriarchal society that they live in; although he is her father and has the parental power over her he would most likely not speak to a son in such a demeaning tone. He makes her seem to be slow, as if she cannot carry on a conversation or listen to him, which is quite demeaning.

Just as she finished her last word, she could feel every pair of eyes in the room fix on her, half in disbelief that a servant had spoken to the Queen, and half in awe that she had spoken to the Queen.
“What happened? What did they say?” We knew from some internal instinct that the “they” we were referring to was someone we cared about deeply. Then, the worst words ever to escape my mother’s mouth hung over us as she responded to our impatient questions.
“Oh, gods,” Rukia clamped a hand over her mouth. Of course he’d be upset with her..she’d be pretty upset, too, if Toushiro tried sheltering all the burden by himself. “I can’t believe I just--,” she rubbed her face in shame and exhaustion, “Shit, I’m so sorry Toushiro...I didn’t think--I’m such a terrible person…”
“I could never dream of competing with you, you’re a master at your craft. And, I hate to cut this short, but I owe my friend here a drink…Can we catch up back at home?”
“I got bored with her,” Darquesse said, lifted up Isla’s limp hand for him to take, “And you’re here again so she’s of no use to me.”
Malvina swore on the corpse of her mother-in-law to continue providing the same protection and solicitude that the deceased lady gave to the unfortunate slave. Isaura cried for a long time the death of the woman that had been a tireless and loving mother to her, and continued to be a slave, not to a virtuous lady, but to capricious masters, debauched and cruel.
The appearance of dramatic irony throughout the text helps readers start feeling pity for Rosaura. We begin to feel bad for Rosaura as she goes through the story happily with the idea that everyone is equal in status, where she believes that she has been “invited because Luciana is [her] friend.” She ignores the warnings that her mother gives her about how Luciana truly sees her, but instead gets agitated as she stubbornly defends Luciana. More and more indications of the true intentions and views of the hosts start emerging, which Rosaura also takes no notice of. However, these give the reader a good sense of what’s going on. She carries refreshments, gets into a rude verbal confrontation, and helps distribute hot dogs and cake, which are
As soon as she got back to the palace, she went straight to King Kertamarta’s room and said to him, “Father, forgive me, but your daughter, my sister, Candra Kirana tried to poison me! She wants to kill me, Father! Ple...
