I am trying to show the confusion my character feels (first person narrative) but am not sure what techniques to use. I have tried to achieve this using questions that arose through my character's confusion, but I feel like that is not enough. Could someone tell me the techniques they use to show a character's confusion in the first person narrative? Example: > He told me he currently worked at NASA. Huh? Various thoughts floated in my head. But he used to hate science! That is about it. I would like the reader to feel a greater sense of confusion my character feels but I am not sure how to convey it.
