Journey of Discovery
A journey of discovery is a very complex concept. It can involve much more than physical movement from place to place. A journey of discovery can be a very meaningful experience providing opportunities for the traveller to develop themselves physically, emotionally and spiritually. It can be a catalyst for change that can lead to further understanding of oneself, others and also the world.
The texts studied support this idea of a “journey of discovery” very effectively. The texts I have chosen and think support the above idea well are “This Lime Tree Bower My Prison” by Samuel Taylor Coleridge and “Journey to the Interior” by Margaret Atwood, along with the interesting short story “Through the Tunnel” by Doris Lessing.
The composers of these texts have used a range of techniques to involve their audience in the journey. The ideas in these texts are conveyed clearly by the composer’s effective use of language techniques.
There are three main areas to a journey of discovery. First, journeys often involve obstacles and challenges that need to be overcome. Second, journeys can offer a therapeutic experience for those who undertake them. And third, through undertaking a journey we learn more about ourselves.
A journey can often be challenging and have obstacles that need to be overcome in order to complete the journey.
Journeys can be physical, emotional and spiritual. But no matter what form of journey is being undertaken, there will almost always be an obstacle or challenge that needs to be faced. The outcomes of the journey will depend on how the person taking the journey responds to the particular obstacle/challenge that is in their way.
The poem “This Lime tree Bower My Prison” by S.T Coleridge, conveys the idea of an obstacle very well. Coleridge is unable to join his friends on an outing, therefore referring to the lime tree bower as his “prison”. The exaggeration “here I must remain, this lime tree bower my prison!” along with the vivid visual
