Cage of Butterflies written by Brian Caswell incorporates many techniques that reflect how atypical this book is to the crime-fiction genre. The manner Caswell uses incorporates the “hard-boiled” protagonist, the structure of the text and the characters involved as well as many others Common archetypes in crime-fiction literature evoke an immediate connection.

However Caswell’s characters are neither photogenic, wealthy or famous which seems enigmatic.

The quote found in chapter six of “Lord of the Flies” impacted me greatly because Jack desires to violate the order set by Ralph which was adapted in order to maintain balance between the young men on the isolated island. Also I became amaze by the manner in which Jack wanted disrupt the balance that have been able to accomplish by Ralph. In this quote, one can observe the symbolism of the conch which is power and authority. However, Jack have the ambition to break or overpower the force of authority the conch illustrates.
