I selected a specific, observable contemporary phenomenon (not a broad concept like 'all of consumerism').I identified the core 'shared myth' behind this phenomenon—the 'story' that makes people believe and participate.I applied at least two of the 'three pillars of fictional narrative' (consensus/meaning/cooperation) in concrete analysis.I identified the constructors and beneficiaries of the narrative, not just described participants.I made a narrative structure comparison with at least one historical case from the book.I wrote at least one original insight—a judgment I didn't have before analysis but do after.
