Hi, I'm struggling with finding form techniques to support my analysis, can someone provide me with some examples? And it would also be helpful if you could share the effect of using that form. I already know a few so far:

- Third Person Limited Narration
- Characterisation
- The Appendix
- Tripartite Structure

from my understanding some other ones are
paratext (such as the appendix) - diegetic ambiguity as in you dont know whether it is from the universe of 1984 or outside it so creates an unresolved conclusion whether the Party was actually overthrown
embedded narrative (Goldstein's book) - adds to the worldbuilding and allows readers to analyse the ideologies of the novel, also alludes to real life ideological manifestos like marx's communist manifesto, can add to irony depending on your interpretation if it was written by the party or not
also not 100% sure the following are form techniques but worth looking into
neologism (new words)
stream of consciousness
satire
metafiction

Tysm, I'm not sure how I could apply some of them in conceptual points for analysis for my ideas, but "stream of consciousness" and "satire" are really good ones for 'the power of storytelling'.
