Hannah is the protagonist in the story who is explaining through audiotapes the thirteen reasons why she has committed suicide. These tapes were sent from one person to the next, and so on from a list. Through the tapes, each individual listened and heard the role they took in Hannah concluding to leave this world. Hannah not only explains her reasons but also shows readers on how they can affect people negatively without even knowing it like Clay, the guy who sincerely had strong feels for her. All through the story Clay had no idea why and how he could’ve been part of the thirteen reasons. He felt even worse because he actually liked her and wished that there was something that he could’ve done to prevent the ending of her young life. Clay eventually hears all the tapes, and miserably mails it out to the next person. In the end, it is very difficult for Clay to return to school but does and gains the strength to stop and speak with Skye, in hopes to help her and prevent the same thing from happening. I believe that this book would be great for students to see that everyone does not perceive things the same way, take into consideration that people are stronger and weaker than others in multiple ways, and to treat others well.
