The Novel Jasper Jones by Craig Silvey revolves around a young boy named Charlie Bucktin living in the small Australian town of Corrigan in the 1960’s. Charlie is exposed to the confronting issues of racial prejudice, injustice and moral duality. He is challenged to question right from wrong, has to come to the realization that law doesn’t always uphold justice and we as readers are positioned to understand that people are capable of holding two conflicting values and remain in confortable harmony. The ideas are portrayed through Silvey’s use of narrative conventions that are used to either challenge or reinforce our values, attitudes and beliefs on the issues explored.

Although fictional texts are simply narratives, the characters and ideas presented within them have the ability to reflect a particular period in time and the attitudes and beliefs associated with it. The coming of age novel Jasper Jones, written by Craig Silvey, follows the journey of Charlie Bucktin, the thirteen-year-old protagonist, who is forced to rethink his traditional notions of right and wrong, after a tragedy opens his eyes to the world around him. Throughout the novel Silvey brings to light issues concerning morality, justice, and humility, by discussing them from the perspectives of certain individuals including Charlie, Jasper and Jeffrey. Overall it is these representations that provoke audiences to question their own morality, and to question the prejudices present in society during that era.

Charlie Bucktin learns a great deal about himself, others, Corrigan and important lessons that will help him live a better life in Jasper Jones. In the novel, Charlie goes through some experiences that teach him some of life’s great lessons. In particular he comes to learn a great deal about trust, love, facing and overcoming fear, role models and racial prejudice.

In the novel Jasper Jones, Craig Silvey provides us the audience an insight into the characters’ pursuit of truth by exploring overarching ideas such as Fear, Racism and Scapegoating and linking them with character dialogue as well as narrator descriptions. The main truth presented by Craig Silvey is the investigation of Laura Wishart’s death, by pursuing this truth Charlie uncovers truths about his family and town. I believe that by using these overarching ideas, silver is able to offer us a deep insight into the characters’ pursuit of truth.

I stood there, and a man in a gray jacket looked at me with a sadistic grin, and let the kid fall to the ground, with a hand sized wound in his chest. I lifted up my fists, but a portal opened up and the man in the gray jacket’s fist punched me to the wall, and my vision started to go blurry. Well, it was better than what my town could do, for sure. The people in my town were too busy stabbing my arm to kill me. But, I could swear I could hear the kid speak however. I thought I heard, “Wake up, Jack, it’s too late for me.”

Although seemingly innocent, the small town of Corrigan, where the novel, Jasper Jones, is set, is home to a vast number of lies and secrets, and holds an immense amount of deception and manipulation within its walls.

was Miss Jones’ willingness to begin taking her prescribed medication for depression. Miss Jones agreed to this after the third week of therapy. She had requested from the social worker evidence that anti-depressants were helpful and not just used to, “make kids numb” (Jones, 2015). The social worker was able to provide Miss Jones with research and website information that supported the use and efficacy of SRIs in adolescents. Upon review of these materials Miss Jones appeared to gain a level of comfort with the medicines and began to take them regularly.

Pamela Jones enjoyed banking. She had taken a battery of personal aptitude and interest tests that suggested that she might like and do well in either banking or librarianship. Since the job market for librarians was poor, she applied for employment with a large chartered bank, the Bank of Winnipeg, and was quickly accepted.

One of the potential causes of Dr. Jones’ issues is that he has not maintained an adequate balance between professional and personal life. Specifically, the relationship issues experienced within his marriage in addition to the physical symptoms of sleeplessness and restlessness are indications of burnout. According to (Corey et al., 2014), burnout occurs when a stressful situation sustained for a significant period resulting in physical and emotional exhaustion. Additionally, individuals who suffer from burnout hold negative thoughts aimed towards their careers, which negatively affect the client counselor relationship. Dr. Jones’ burnout is primarily manifesting as inattentiveness while conducting counseling sessions with clients. Distraction during counseling sessions and constantly being late is unprofessional and has the potential to be detrimental to the client. The attitude and behavior a therapist has the ability to affect an individual either positively or negatively. Therapist appearing to be inattentive during counseling sessions may seem to lack empathy, which is potentially misconstrued as judgment or rejection by the client. As a result, the effectiveness of the treatment is potentially severely impacted.
