One technique the author used to develop the character of Amy in "Amy Metaphor" was through her unique way of thinking and speaking in metaphors. This helped readers understand her complexity and creativity as a character. For example, when Amy describes her voice as "a tape recorder that’s been played too many times," it gives us insight into her feelings of weariness and exhaustion (Oh 10). This quote shows us how Amy views herself and the world around her in a creative and insightful way.
