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.
I think the kind of helplessness I would feel would be devastating. I felt that way while reading the novel. Even though I was totally intrigued with the mystery, I knew that the reality was that Hannah was dead. Nothing was going to bring her back.
