Backstory

The author uses a backstory to make readers understand why the protagonist is confused. Notice that the story starts with the narrator expressing his confusion with regards to his identity and then continues presenting past events and circumstances that have brought him to his current state: “... my mother was Aboriginal, and she was taken off her parents...” (ll. 1-2); “It was in my teens that I started to hang around with other Aboriginal people.” (ll. 12-13)
