so, my brothers English Class got a visit from an author. Jay Asher to be exact, and he talked to them about his book called: Thirteen Reasons Why.
Thirteen Reasons why is about this boy named Clay Jenkins. One day he comes home and sees a box lying on his porch infront of his door. He's excited to get a package and goes inside his room to see whats inside. When he opens it he finds 13 cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Bakerahis.
The thing is, Hannah commited suicide about two weeks ago. She was Clay's classmate and crush apparently.
In the tape Hannah explains that there are thirteen reasons why she took her life. Clay is one of them. On each tape she takes him around the town explaining to him every single reason why.
I want to read this book so badly.
I dont know why.
I like books like that.
Books I can relate to. (No i am not planning on commiting suicide, but of course i've thought about it. But lets be honest, who hasnt?)
I want to see why Hannah decided she wanted to die, why Clay was one of the reasons she eventually did.
And how Clay dealt with it afterwards.
what would you do if you found out that your classmate commited suicide because of you?
would you go into your bathroom, find the next knife and slit your wrists because, in your mind, thats the only thing that would seem fair?
or would you just go on with your life, always, in the back of your mind having this little voice telling you 'its all your fault.'
what would i do?
i dont know.
