I think the authors helped us understand the characters by describing their thoughts and feelings in detail. For example, in "Amy Metaphor," the author writes, "Amy's heart pounded in her chest as she nervously approached the stage, her hands trembling with excitement." This quote really helps us feel what Amy is feeling in that moment and understand her character better. In "From Scratch," the author describes Samantha's inner struggles with her identity and how she tries to fit in at her new school. These details really help us get to know the character on a deeper level.
