Self Discovery In Lost

Discovery the act of finding or learning something for the first time, therefore this image represents how discovery can be unwelcome, similar to the text, where the persona’s discovery results in a mental breakdown. This image was chosen to write ‘Lost’ because I believe that one of the most confronting types of discovery is self-discovery. The mirror represents what we discover about ourselves, but the cracks depict a skewed perception, just like the persona in the text. Both the character in the image and the persona in the text succumb and submit to the severity of their discoveries. Both discover other parts of themselves which seem completely identical, but are completely contrasted to their ideals, and these parts are hidden within themselves. Another similarity is that they discover what they discover by themselves, which impact them and isolate them a lot more. I believe that isolation gives individuals a better chance of discovering something truly worth discovering.

I am already the girl from the park
