13 Reasons Why
By: Jay Asher
I really think that this text of the book is simple. It’s very easy to read. It allows you to understand everything better when the text is simple. When you have harder text to read, I feel that it makes you not want to read as much as you should. I think that Jay Asher had written the book like that for a specific reason. I believe that since the book is leaning towards teenagers, it has a better and easier text so they are more interested in the reading.
I believe that one of the hardest understandings about the text is the tapes. What exactly are the tapes supposed to mean? It says that each person receiving the tape has a part of the death of the girl, but why did she decide to make the tapes? It may say why in the rest of the book but I’m just confused on why she had decided to do it the way she did.
As of right now, this book makes you think in a way. It makes you think about how the reality can kick in. You realize that what is going on in the book can happen to someone in high school or even college. You may realize how some people are treated or even how you yourself treat people and want to change the way that is. I believe that things happen for a reason and if you change the bad habits, you can better yourself as a person.
I think your questions will be answered as you read on. When I've read with novel with students, they have tended to be fairly critical of Hannah. How do you feel about her?
