- Analysis of the book
The title “Thirteen Reasons Why” is a very exciting title because the first question that comes up is: “Thirteen reasons for what?”.
But the short description on the cover immediately clears up the question. Someone died and there are thirteen reasons why.
The storyline is also very interesting. A girl explains on casstettetapes why she want to kill herself and her classmate and crush Clay listens to the tapes. She tells her hole story and Clay and the reader come to know every terrible reason that cause to her decision to end her life.
Although a tipical young adult slang is visible the book has all the same an easy language and it is understandable for everyone. Furthermore it has an perfect length, not too long and not to short.
That the book is written from Hannah’s and Clay’s point of view makes the book very attractive. It isn’t confusing. Hannah makes the book lively and Clay shows immediately a reaction to what Hannah says. It begins with the end of the story when Clay has already listened to the tapes and is swift to send the tapes to the next one. Then the book switches in time and it follows the past when Clay listens to the tapes.
With every new story of Hannahs life the suspence and the terribility rises until the climax, her rape and the decision to end her life.
Exeptional in the book is that Hannah isn’t the typical victim for bullying. Hannah is pretty. She has friends and a lot of boys who want to go out with her. But the rumors are not the popularity Hannah wants.
Also exeptional is that for Hannah the people are not culprits but jointly responsible. They misunderstand the signs from Hannah and they don’t notice what they do. So Hannah don’t blame an individual one, she even forgive them all and admits that she also bears the blame. For example when she watches how a girl get rapped and she does nothing against it.
The book “Thirteen Reasons Why” is about the themes first love, mixed emotions and sucide. It addresses young adults because this themes are common for them and it gives reason to identificate with Hannah or Clay. But the most important fact for being perfect for young adults is that they can understand the most how the people in the book feel because their life is similar.
The theme suicide is a theme that is hardly discussed. So the author Jay Asher want to call attention to it and want to unfold the reasons for suicide. The book shows the consequences of your own acting. That often only your impression puts someone into a special role. It shows how every action you make can affect another peoples life and that you often don’t even noticing it.
Furthermore the book shows with Hannah how it comes to suicide. That it begins with littles things and like a snowballeffect it causes to terrible things. And that the rage of the victim anytime turns against him or herself.
The theme suicide is described very clearly. The victim tells the problem and the way to suicide on her own and at the same time there is someone who learns from what she tells and from what happened with her.
The moral of the book is to identify when a person is at high risk of suicide and to avert the suicide. It is important to pay attention to what you say and do to others and to understand to what your behavior can lead.
On one side the book brings out sadness and angriness for the reader but on the other side also hope. Hope that stories like Hannah’s can get avert.
- Analysis of Hannah and Clay
6.1 Hannah
On one side Hannah is very sensitive and she wants the others to respect her personality and to notice her sensibility. She aches for closeness and trust but the rumours only reduce her to her body.
She recognises what happens with her, that piques her and causes to a depression. Again and again she trusts the people and gets disappointed which causes to self-pity. She gives herself up and finally it leads to her suicide.
But on the other side Hannah is also very unjustly. It is terrible what happened with her but sometimes she says sentences which were very unfair. Moreover it is very unfair on Clay that Hannah hadn’t give him or anyone else the chance to help her. She distance herself from the others and wallows in self-pity. No one recognizes her despair and she didn’t ask for help.
6.2 Clay
Clay makes a very big change in the book. First when he starts to listen to the tapes he is totally helpless. He don’t know what to do. He don’t know why he is on the list and to hear Hannah’s voice and her story makes him sad and desperately. It makes him cry to hear what happened with Hannah and that he can hear her voice one last time after her death.
Then when Clay listens to the stories he gets very angry about what the people did to Hannah. Furthermore he reproaches himself that he doesn’t helped and stopped her from killing herself.
But at the end he learns from what he hears and from what happened with Hannah. He knows that he must pay attention to what he does and that he must try to recognize when a friend is suicidal.
