Reflective Letter28/12/2015To 2016 discoverer,In the early stages of the unit, my perception of discovery was very limited. In my previous understanding, discovery only involved physical exploration and emotional rediscovery of oneself. My ideology, through analysis of various texts throughout the term, evolved to encompass the possibilities of physical, emotional and psychological discovery. Every individual has experienced discovery as there is no one type of discovery nor a particular way in which discovery can be represented or understood. Every person experiences discoveries based on their physical, emotional and psychological state as well as the societal and cultural values of the environment which they live in. Therefore making the concept of discovery relevant to all individuals, including myself. I have learnt that discovery does not have to involve physical journey. An individual can discover within their own comfort zones however, leaving these comfort zones and personal bubbles will also evoke further discoveries.
My thoughts and understandings of discovery further evolved. Through my studies of the concept of discovery I came across my own self discovery, where I learnt how to embrace the present and not worry about the future or live in the past. The study of the prescribed text Away allowed me to relate to the characters who were on their own journey to discovering themselves. The deep analysis of Coral and Toms discoveries also allowed me to consider my own condition and I taught myself to live in the moment. This also aided in changing what made up my understanding of discovery. I now believe that discovery not only involves physical, emotional and psychological explorations but also involves rediscovering something concealed or even learning something new about oneself or even others. Something that I need to improve
The discovery of the inner book
Coral, now in her second year at the Medical School she was granted to have as a patient, a book which she read and looked at. She went through the ‘reading’ stages of the book so she could understand it, and finally understood what it meant. The books were of high quality, and were used for the primary purpose of teaching the student how to read and write.
In June 2014 Coral decided to have the book published but a delay meant that she had to continue with her primary school education so she could finish a thesis. She took two months to complete. The book was completed about two years later and it sold well and was able to attract about 50,000 copies from 3,000 potential homebuyers.
Coral’s book, which was translated for English by the Institute of Education, was made into books for the University Library of Science and Technology, a government agency that makes sure library collections and libraries are properly maintained.
She and her son, Stephen S. had spent a year of their lives reading and writing all her primary education books. One book was a memoir called The Heart of a Chihuahua. The other was a collection of poems and jokes.
In 1997 Coral moved to Tokyo and began teaching the younger Edith where she studied philosophy and English. She found other professors and, as her student, would start teaching and lecturing in that school. She was accepted back to the medical sciences for primary as a result and became a student of Tokyo Medical School for her first year. There it is written, in Japanese, as “The Book of Edith”, with the subtitle of “Edith’s Book of the Heart of a Chihuahua”.
One of her most rewarding experiences as an educator was being to learn with her students at the Tokyo Medical School about her early medical career. Coral will never forget her teachers when they were in the midst of her early career and have taught us about each of their work and their relationship between her and her children to this day.

Coral Toms is a book that has become her daily life. It follows the events of Coral’s first life
as a student as a teacher, or as the daughter of an orphan and as a single mother »
She started her medical study with some friends of her first name, and later worked at a government hospital, where she met the professor’s wife and the father. Through both marriage and the difficulties of their marriage, Coral has become convinced the world she was taught to ignore is not actually there or has its power in other people instead. In her personal life, she finds that people understand and care about nothing and that this understanding can actually be transformative and change everything about her.
Coral’s passion for her children and her appreciation for their struggles is clear not only through her books, but through the books she read in her private life.
When her husband discovered Coral’s cancer diagnosis, he was shocked and saddened for her family and their place in her life but he did nothing illegal or improper to the family and they were left in a place of great pain. He left Coral.
Coral began reading to the children as
