Thirteen Reasons Why 

 

The beginning of this novel does not start off with Hannah Baker. As a matter of fact it begins with Clay Jensen, one of the people on Hannah Bakers list. As I explained before Hannah Baker killed herself having a plan. She made thirteen stories and seven tapes double sided, along with a map to physically follow as they listen. On these tapes Hannah holds each person listening to these tapes responsible for her suicide. Each person must listen and pass them on to the next person on the list. If anyone fails to pass on these tapes she says a copy of the recordings will be posted public. The tapes have a different effect on Clay, considering he had a crush on her. Clay must listen to why part of this calamity is his fault. Clay is number nine on the tapes. Hannah reassures him that her suicide had nothing to do with him. Clay was actually probably the only good one to Hannah, but is this fair? Clay is not like the others on the tapes…Clay was kind all he did was have mixed feelings for her. Clay wanted desperately to get to know her, and he would have had he seen all the signs. Is it fair he has to carry this burden of all  the others actions?
