plain the author's use of __ambiguity__. How does the author's use of __ambiguity__ reflect the themes of __Modernism__?

-The author uses ambiguity throughout the book. Eudora Welty uses it by trying to confuse you by making you wonder if her grandson is alive or not. It makes you wonder if she actually walked through the forest,for miles and miles. Did she really walk and wait for someone to pass by and was she "lying on my back like a junebug,waiting to be turned over..."(pg.624). She reflects the theme of modernism by racism, it attempted to show more human subjective through society. She showed their emotion, their thought toward a certain race, when the man says "you negros that would travel long ways to see santa clause"(pg). It sounds as if it set some where in the south and the blacks where just given freedom. When the white man sees her he calls her a "negro" and when the nurse talks to her she tells her to answer her because she is wasting her time, and she is wasting her own time. If reflects on it because it shows this older women taking that path and trying to get a better life and overcome all that racism. Or it could be taken as straight out as this grandmother traveling along way for the one that she loves, her grandson.
