Introduction Good morning distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen. I welcome you to the 24th annual Queensland Literary Symposium I’d like to highlight another prominent book that has captured readers with its engaging and thrilling storyline alone with significant aspects of human society and culture The story I specifically refer to is none other but the novel Jasper Jones Written by the Australian author Craig Silvery, Jasper Jones was set in the scorching summer of Western Australia in 1965.

Although Jasper is a dark man, mostly in shadows, watching the lives of other people and wishing his own would be more eventful, the part that is most disturbing about him is his meticulous preparation for the murder. Whatever his motive for the murder was, his repressed feelings for Rosa or his desire to escape the monotony of his life by living Edward’s, his idea to kill is deeply unsettling. Dickens has dedicated the whole twelfth chapter to Jasper’s exploration of the cathedral tombs, allegedly, the place and method of disposing of Edwin’s body. He visits the crypts with Durdles,
