The author himself admits he didnt use much techniques
But u might find 1 or two and it should be enough.
Focus is more on effect of .. on....

isn't the whole idea of english HSC is on the idea of "how" ppl analyse textsss~~~so techniques are definitely the most important!!!!
know the how!!
it is very important the techniques are the HOW. and there is tonnes. ill give you the examples im usin:
• combination of 3rd person narrative & dialogue is quite descriptive
• onomatopoeia – ‘smash’, ‘wailing’; alliteration - ‘fumbling fingers’; personification – ‘the car attacked’ help vividly describe Brett’s messed up life
• Word choice and tone show his attitude toward police
• word choice – jail words: locks, bolts, cuffs, cages
authority figures as ‘the enemy’
• metaphor – Brett in metaphoric hand cuffs trying to break free, also physical and metaphoric cages
• narrative turning points for Brett – when conned and looses his wallet (he becomes the victim), moments of realisation (eg. “No-one hates you, you hate them”), after the fight with Caitlyn’s dad.
• Symbolism – farm with no fences (symbolises trust), morning sun at the end (symbol of hope)
• Analogy – Sam is the best tamer of wild horses - best tamer of wild youth. Sam to Josh: “the horse isn’t the only one who bites around here”
• Irony – it’s ironic that Brett shut Sam out, yet Sam is the most influential character on Brett. Brett dismisses Sam as a ‘grandad’ yet he becomes a grandfather like figure
• Narrative devices:
- having Brett and Josh become ‘friends’ (as respect grows). This has Brett opening up, & seeing what it’s like for others
- Frog’s growing relationship with Brett eventually brings out a caring side.
- Caitlyn, the ‘love interest’ helps him develop self respect and inner strength, now he can see a future
- Rebecca – the ‘functional character’ sheds light on his past. Realises he doesn’t want to go there.
• Juxtaposition – Tyson, the stereotypical thug, institution been no help at all is contrasted with Brett who does change.
thats the most helpful thing ive ever done on this forum..

Hey after reading the exempler band 6 essay from this website they use like hardly any techniques at all so go have a look at that. I think it will depend on the question also, its good to know a few but concentrate more on other insightful sorta crap.
Techniques Are Not So Important In Raw! U Need To Talk About The Institution And Personal Expierience In Relation To The Themes Such As, Power, Compliance, Protest Etc As Well As Relationships, Change, Authority Figures And How They Differ And Institutions And How They Differ As You Have Other Stimulous Material To Compare
