Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher

Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher


    The tittle is what the book is about. Thirteen reasons why this girl might of killed herself. I do not

know at this point in the book. The author has structured the guts of this novel to the point I can not put the

book down. He manages to add  other characters who some have been exposed. Myself two really needed

a good wrack from Hannah. The author calculates the right time to get to one's emotional state in this

reading. The tittle represents what can and could happen to a bullied person. He has added the map which

is interesting  and above all adds to the reading as if you are there.Clay is to me one of the major players in

this book. The author has picked very good names for these characters. The Clay person seems to regrets

not being more open to Hannah. The message I get is be more communicative to those who are in your day

day life. Rather if it's in school, your work place. Maybe just waiting for the bus to go home after school. I

wish I could say more about the author on this book but, I do not know any thing more to say until the next

time

Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher

Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher is really interesting. The thirteen recorded tapes recorded by Hannah

before she goes through her suicide is confusing me at this point. The main characters right now are Clay ,

Hannah. Clay to me is a nice person. Why were the tapes sent to him? Was he mean to her or she has

some nice things to say to him that she couldn't say in person? So far she expresses feelings about this nasty

list made up by a guy student who I feel was mean and this was made to hurt people. I would have

ignored the list. While Clay is listening to the tapes he make comments to himself of why she is doing this.

When will he hear his name pass her lips? Two dialog story is new to my reading experience.Hannah talks

about females and dissects them with her words.Do the rest of the past people who have received these

tapes actually care about the persons mentioned in the tapes? I am wondering what tape has Clay been

mentioned in. The map is a addition to the mystery. Clay seems determined to follow her marked map.

I would to. I am so inquisitive but, on the other hand, I really do not want to find out others' secrets.  I do

hope Clay will come across some one who has already heard the tapes. Will he keep listening to the tapes

if he does meet some one who has already listened to them?Hannah's attitude does not make me convinced

that she is planning her death. She is too calm.There is no hint so far in her recordings what she plans to do

with herself.

Thirteen Reasons Why

   This book is very different from other books I have read. I usually read more spirited  country themed books. This book has me feeling for this girl. On the other hand, so far I can not really understand why she has taken the time to record these tapes. I am wondering if the rest of the people who are on the list going to be impacted by these tapes like this girl expects them to. Clay received the tapes. To me at this point I do not see where he figures in on this list. He feels more for her and wonders who else has experienced these tapes. There is a map Hannah has provided that she has marked every where she had experienced some thing. I can only imagine how she felt then and contemplating on ending her life after she records these thirteen tapes. Hannah assumes she had a funeral but, Clay mentions that she did not.She explains her first kiss and how wonderful it was to have her first kiss. Then rumors started . Kids at school can be cruel. The way she describes her past. I assume she was unhappy from where she came from. Like maybe at her old school kids made her feel that her representation was ruined by the exact same type of behavior from the kids at her old school. I was made fun of at high school because of my last name. You just would not believe how many names can be made out of my last name. Mainly boys would be the culprits. I can relate to Hannah to a certain degree..
