Abstract (300 words maximum)
This essay serves as a retroactive examination of a personal narrative storytelling performance, describing my experience working for the supermarket Publix. This essay offers an interdisciplinary critique of my story using three concepts: framing, foregrounding and backgrounding, and representation and agency. Storytellers need to critique their works to hone their craft, and this paper provides a model that will expand the body of knowledge of such analytical methods for future storytellers.
