While modernism calls attenttion to the real nature of the world post-modernism tells us that everything we are subjected to is not real. Eliot and the Modernist authors were bringing attention to the fact that the 20th century was not an ideal time. In the past authors and poets had glorified war or nature, or their surroundings, whille Modernists told the truth: that their world was a literal and spiritual wasteland and that war was not glorious.
Post-modenists strive to reveal the truth about the modern world , claiming a "disappearenc of the real" While both classes are trying to change thought, realities change frequently and posssibily can never be clearly defined.
