“What you should keep in mind is that anything in a character’s environment can serve as an indicator of his internal landscape if you use it wisely. I frequently give my writing students the assignment of using a refrigerator to show a character’s state of mind. But a car would work for this assignment as well. So would a bulletin board or a pair of shoes.
The thing you use doesn’t matter when it comes to showing something about a character. It’s how you use it in your writing that counts.”
