the end

i just finished thirteen reasons why. it is now one of my favorite books of all time. it is really easy to read and its powerful. it makes you wonder things about your own life and how you are an impact on other peoples lives. this book makes me take other people into consideration more. you'll never know people might take something you've said wrong way and hurt them selves or even kill themselves. its simple people, be nice! treat people how you would want to be treated. take others feelings into consideration... YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

problems i wouldnt want myself in

in thirteen reasons why, a guy named Clay Jensen receives a set of suicide tapes. he starts listening to them and cant believe what he is hearing. its the voice of a girl named Hannah baker. she had recently taken her own life and she has thirteen reasons for doing so. Clay Jensen has those tapes for a reason. he is on there because Hannah wanted him to hear why she did what she did. if i were clay Jensen i would be going crazy, wondering why i had to be apart of something so tragic. why me? what did i do? if it were me in the situation i would of listened to the tapes as Hannah asked. but it would of forever changed my life. can you imagine listening to a close friend of yours tell why they did what they did? i would feel like i could of helped her. i could of noticed the signs and could of saved her life. but in the book clay just listens and that's all he can do for now.. because she is already gone. it's too late.

what are my feelings about thirteen reasons why?

while reading thirteen reasons why, i start to think what if i were on the list? what if i could of stopped the suicide, what if i saw the signs? when i think about those questions i literally get the chills. could you imagine going to school sitting in class and staring at an empty desk knowing what they did to themselves and that they weren't coming back? its sick. i can't imagine being in that situation. Especially if i got the tapes. Sitting there listening to someone telling me why they killed them selves, and why i was apart of it. After reading the part when Hannah told the listener about the "warning signs" of suicide, i seriously walk around campus observing a few people i see everyday, looking at their appearances and  their attitudes and see if they fall under the warning signs. its like i come paranoid and feel like I'm apart of the book. to be honest, i kind of like it and i definitely enjoy the book a lot.
