For my english class we had to choose a short story to read for the independent book club that we share with other schools within our community . I found the novel quite interesting because it had to main narrations one from a actual person who was experiancing everything that was happening "clay" and another point of view which was comming from some tapes " Hannah baker " which sadly took her life because of thirteen reasons .The novel overall was quite emotional but to be honest i really didn't get into it until about mid half way through. The way the story was set up , was that hannah had already died and handed out these tapes to thirteen people who were the reasons she commited suicide . Each of these individuals had an order on the tapes and had to pass them on to the next person when they were finished Clay, who was the main character got the tapes and then at that point the reader got to hear what she had to say about the last few months of her life . The thirteenth person apparently was the worse and made the desicion happen because then she knew that nobody cared enough to stop her and the part that upset me the most was when i found out hannah had the same feelings for clay and really needed him but he had no idea she felt this way and also thought she wasn't the fondest of him because she kicked him out of her life after the party took place . Now he blames himself and thinks if he stayed with her she would sill be alive at this point but he really shouldn't considering if someone told you to leave in a cold way you would also , how would you know what that persons inner self was struggling with if they don't open up and come forward with the problem.? Which she tried to do the day before her suicide took place with a teacher but some of the events your don't want to share with an adult especially when he told her she might have to just move on from the problem , which is about the last thing she wanted to hear.
