Discovery can encompass the emergence from sudden and unexpected practices or deliberate and careful planning evoked by curiosity and wonder. This experience is evident in Rosemary Dobson’s profound poems, ‘The Tiger’ and ‘Wonder’. Discovery can also lead us to new worlds and values, offering up new understandings and renewed perceptions of ourselves and the world we live in. This is demonstrated in Lois Lowry’s novel ‘The Giver’ through the sophisticated use of various techniques and thought-provoking themes.

However, such an image is expressed in a restricted way as the tiger is conveyed through the creative metaphor and alliteration of "behind the black bars of the page", which represents the poet's poetic inspirations that is also trapped under the fixed attitudes of society. The poet also uses a range of other images to enhance her concern. Natural/celestial Images such as "sun" and "sky of stars” represent a free expression in contrast to the trapped tiger.

Soon after, Jonas began to "see-beyond" what others could see; colors in his everyday life, feelings of love towards people, contrasting back and forth from to reality. One example was his father's assignment to take care of a newborn child name Gabriel. Jonas felt love for this child, and it soon became clear to him what life in the community lacked and what it should've had. Jonas is then motivated by his accidental discovery; his gift, questioning and challenging these discoveries when viewed from his differing perspective. Discovery can encompass the experience of discovering something for the first time or rediscovering something that has been lost, forgotten or concealed. For Jonas, he discovers the truths about the “flawless” utopia he occupies through the
