Summer reading response

      Are 13 people really the reason she killed herself or is there more to it? In the story Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher, Hannah Baker is a teenage girl who kills herself but before she died she made thirteen tapes, theses thirteen tapes are the reasons or should I say people that caused her to kill herself. Throughout the book the reader gets the message from the author that you should treat people better. They get this message because throughout the story we follow a character named Clay who happens to be on the tapes and is one of the thirteen reasons why Hannah killed herself. The reader cause to hear the tapes and feel Hannah's pain, the reader gets to know what she went through.
     The first way this book teaches you a lesson is by splitting each chapter into a side of a tape, which is a different person every time. These people show a different impact on her life and the scars they left her or the happiness they brought to her. For example, the first tape starts off with Hannah's first boyfriend Justin, he was her first kiss and her special man Justin mad her more happy then sad but he started a rumor that ruined the moment of her first kiss, this is one reason why she killed her self and I know you say cause a rumor but no its cause it ruined a special moment for her. It ruined her first kiss the thing she wanted to remember one of the best moments ruined because other people acted a way and started a rumor. Well Justin told his friend and started it this ruined everything for her and thats why he was on the tape.
    The second way the book shows you is through Clay because Clay is the character the reader follows through the book and he ends up  sympathizing with Hannah and you read all of Clays feelings. Jay Asher describes his feelings so strongly that you can sympathize with Clay and Hannah, you feel both of there pain. One example was during Clays tape it wasn't bad it was just that Hannah was mad he never had the guts to talk to her only that one night at the party and that was another sad moment because they only kissed and she wanted more because she had heard so much about him being a good guy. But he wanted to talk but he was scared through this but he wanted more like she did but he was scared of what could happen."They're centered around our night, Clay. And you know what I mean by our night." They really did care about each other but things happen sometimes and it changed he still cared and she still did but the circumstances changed things were different now, because she killed herself and he wasn't ready yet.
   In conclusion this story shows how the author brings the story together and makes everything connect. It connected in the outside world because some people can relate to suicide and the fact they want to kill themselves because something like other people and it shows how you should act to people.
