Comfort In Predictable Emptiness
- The emptiness of Kansas provides both comfort and dread for the narrator as endless grassland offers predictable sameness.

- These odd juxtapositions emphasize the strangeness and mundanity she passes while searching.

- She resists stopping several times, fearing that looking will make whatever is there appear, but the sounds continue to provoke her.
