English Essay- Discovery Ashley Marsh-Mclean
Thesis; Discoveries expose who we are and our perceptions of life through the feeling of empathy towards others.
The ramifications of an individual’s discovery can change their perspective of themselves and the world through exposing who they really are through feeling empathy for others.

The play ‘away’ illustrates this concept through Gwen’s hostility towards Tom, Vic and Harry. Gwen believes the family is much below her and her family and that they do not work hard or try to have the life they wish for. Gwen is curious as to why the family lives like this, pushing the discovery towards being exposed. These beliefs are depicted through Gwen’s words at the beginning of the play at the school; “they both work, don’t they? In a factory, isn’t it? I’m sure that’s what I heard, A lean-to. They shouldn’t be going on holidays if they can’t afford one.” Short sentences are used to depict...
