Narrative Representation
As narrators, evaluators make some things visible and allow others to remain invisible.

Polyvocal texts give voice to those who feel marginalized and leave more room for interpretation to stimulate dialogues. A self-reflexive text makes readers more aware of the fact that the stories are retold and inevitably colored by the author's biography, personal projects, and persuasions.
