Rosemary Dobson's 'The TigerAndYoung Girl At A Window'

The story ‘The Lady and the Tiger’ stresses throughout the work the depth of the connection between the

The real voyage of discovery consists of not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes. The belief that discoveries can generate new ideas is explored and proven true in the Robert Frost poems The Tuft of Flowers, and Home Burial, through the juxtaposing perceptions of the world and humanity, which the key personae, develop as a result of their discoveries. This leads to the development of more optimistic outlook for the speaker in Tuft, who comes to a new view of human togetherness. And a more pessimistic outlook for The Wife in Burial who comes to see the world as evil. Hannah in the related text Sky High by Hannah Roberts, also comes to renewed perceptions of herself and the world as a result of the confronting discoveries she makes.

Discovery is the paradigm human beings use to understand their own experiences, in that the epiphany of discovery stimulates self-growth and motivates individuals to find out more, perpetuating discovery as a fundamental human desire and experience. Robert Frost’s poems “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”, “Mending Wall” and “A Tuft of Flowers” explore the necessary meaningful and reflective process of discovery in which all humans must experience. Similarly, “The Metamorphosis” written by Franz Kafka and Sean Penn’s Into the Wild utilises an individuals surrounding environment to enforce the idea of isolation prompting the human experience and the need to discover. Overcoming thresholds

In Robert Frost’s “Tuft of flowers”, the connection of man and nature leads the composer to make an emotional discovery. Frosts unorthodox rhyming style of having 5 iambs in each line makes the poem unique and its quest to realising discovery unique. With that in mind by choosing an unusual form, Frost makes the idea apparent to me in a way that is memorable. Also Frost contrasts the flower with the cut grass shows that he has encased a connection between them and himself as he recognises the beauty of the flower in “…and led my eye to look/At a tall tuft of flowers beside a brook” this new understanding lead him on the path of finding the emotional discovery. Through this poem, Frost showed me that discoveries can lead to refinding yourself and finding new perceptions and by demonstrating this idea he has further my understanding of discovery through the notion of making it memorable.

Discoveries can be confronting and provocative as they can lead to new values and perspectives and change the way we think. The poems “Home burial” and “Mending wall” by Robert Frost and the novel “Will Grayson, Will Grayson” by John Green and David Levithan, relates to discovery by showing the character’s perspectives differently with language forms, such as first and third person, and techniques, such as simile and metaphors.

Marcel Proust quotes “the real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes”. In this manner Discoveries not only allow for a surface level form of exploration but can however affirm or challenge individuals assumptions and beliefs about the world. Invictus by William Henley and The Red Tree by Shaun Tan explore the process of transformation within a Discovery, which is a catalyst to which responders are able to reaffirm or challenge their holistic beliefs about the world.

A discovery can lead to a change in perspective on life, which can come from a better understanding of the self, which can form from an individual’s experience. These ideas are exemplified through a range of written and visual techniques, and explored in Robert Frosts poems, ‘Tuft of flowers’ and ‘After Apple Picking’. Which both create moralistic experiences through challenging responders to acknowledge unplanned discoveries of the human condition.

For some, making a new discovery is a feat reserved for great scientists and leaders. For others, making a discovery lies in their own mind's eye; It is something that might not be monumental to the world, but it is something that opens up new perspectives for one's self.

In “the lady or the tiger,” author Frank Stockton, the princess of a medieval kingdom pointed to the door with the tiger when jealousy beat love. I think that way for a couple reasons. Firstly, the princess hated the woman behind the door with the lady, so, she was naturally jealous and didn't want her lover to be with the woman she hated so much. Secondly, since the princess didn't want her lover to be with the lady, she quite possibly decided after anguished nights and days of thinking, that if she couldn't have him, then nobody could. The author clearly states that, “Would it not be better for him to die at once, and go to wait for her in the blessed regions of the afterlife?” In conclusion, the princess may still think love is important,

Good morning everyone joining today’s book launch for the HSC teachers study guide. Understanding discovery is an important part of the HSC. The ability to analyse, critique, assess and interpret all areas of discovery is what in short enables us to do so in its entirety. The way you go about it, however; is what stands you out from the rest. ‘Life of Pi’ (LOP) directed by Ang Lee portrays clear and concise depictions of both a physical and inner discover as he concisely strings the two together in a harmonious series of events through the use of film techniques, symbolic referencing, depictions of culture and climatic elements and reasoning. Correctively so, ‘The Door’ (TD) composed by poet Miroslav Holum similarly explores these ideas and

In Frank Stockton's work, The Lady or The Tiger, the audience is asked a question of great importance. What did the princess choose? The lady or the tiger? When you think about this question and what the princess would have chosen, it comes down to one simple question. Is love or jealousy stronger? When I asked myself this question, I came up with love.

In “The Lady Or The Tiger” by Frank Stockton, the royal daughter of the king made the choice of killing the love of her life. This is true because, in the text it says “the girl was lovely, but she had dared to raise her eyes to the loved one of the princess.” This quote shows she is jealous of her, and that she wouldn't live with herself if the boy was married to someone besides herself. Also, she had dreamed about him with her and she was mad. In the text it shows “ How in her nightmarish daydreams had she gnashed her teeth, and torn her hair, when she saw his rapture and delight as he opened the door with the lady!” This also displays how she couldn't bare to see the man with someone besides herself. Lastly the princess believes jealousy

At the end of “Lady or the Tiger” the author Frank R. Stockton ended with a cliffhanger. Was it the lady or the tiger behind the right door? It was most certainly the tiger behind the door the princess told her lover to choose. The princess loved the young man unconditionally but she would get very jealous when the fair lady and her lover would talk or even make eye contact. The fact that she was also semi-barbaric made her jealousy even worse. The princess told her lover to choose the door with the tiger behind it because if not, her jealousy would have taken over if she saw the young man and fair lady get married.

“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” - Aristotle Human connection can be involved in the process of uncovering what is hidden through emotional and unexpected discoveries. This concept is portrayed in the poem Tuft of Flowers by Robert Frost and the short film Paperman by Disney. Dissatisfaction with one's surroundings and life can lead one to rediscover what is already known this being through self discovery and emotional discovery. This is revealed in the poem After Apple Picking by Robert Frost and the picture book

The first stanza focuses on the tigers and creates an impression of majesty and power, such as with their ‘sleek chivalric certainty’ (l.4). In psychology and literature, ‘the symbol of the cat was related to the redemption of something feminine’ , and so Rich’s use of the tigers as a predatorial and strong member of the cat family demonstrates Aunt Jennifer’s internal power that derives from her being a woman. The word ‘chivalric’ is traditionally associated with knights and military prowess, and Rich subverts this typically male adjective to the feminine tigers and their representation of Aunt Jennifer’s inner strength (l.4).
