Abstract
Narratives are one important media for communication. When we produce autobiographical narratives, we consider what stories are tellable, what stories are received favorably, and what stories in what type of formats are considered normal. These decisions are heavily influenced by the social structure where the narratives are produced. The present study analyzes narratives produced by Michelle Obama, then the wife of one of the presidential candidates, Barack Obama, during a recent presidential campaign. The analyses will uncover Michelle Obama's presentations of self and others' identities. In addition, the influence of ideology or discourse in American society that shaped her presentation of identities is discussed.
