I'm not sure about the specific words your teacher wants but I can give you my suggestions:

allegory about the relationship between colony and colonizer through the narrative of first person.

This is an example.

In the essay, “The Strange Delights of the Fist,” Samantha Jones uses an allegory about the relationship between the colonized and the colonizer through the narrative of a marriage. In the essay, Jones writes, “He took a look outside and said, ‘Perhaps you should be canning those peaches or turning them into preserves.’ Melinda turned her head to him and murmured, ‘What if I just want to enjoy the scent of peaches in the heat of summer?” The use of allegory effectively persuades readers of the immorality of imperialism because the husband assumes rights over all that the wife brought into the relationship and wants to capitalize from it in the same way that foreign powers took advantage of the natural resources in the countries they colonized.
