Oh Boy! More Literary Features! Literary Feature 2: Ambiguity

Ambiguity: the expression of an idea in vague language so as to create many potential meanings and leave the actual meaning unclear

Ex: pg 3 of Zaat
"For by placing a cushion on her knees, it was possible for Zaat to sit back on the sofa as she wished without revealing what it was not yet the right time to reveal."

Ah yes, no post would be complete without an MLA citation....
Ibrāhīm, Sonallah. "Chapter 1." Zaat. Cairo: American U in Cairo, 2001. 3. Print.
