The character I could most relate to is Clay Jensen. I can relate to him because he tends to over think almost every situation he is in. As he is listening to Hannah Baker’s tapes, he keeps talking over her and making his own comments on his perspective. “But you knew, Hannah. You knew, but you still went. Why” (Asher 100). In a situation, I always end up overthinking the possibilities of what could happen which is exactly what clay does.
The character's problems are very relatable. Hannah Baker’s stories can somehow relate to any average high school student. One of her stories is about her first kiss/love, and almost every high schooler has a clear memory of their first love or kiss. All of the relationships were believable. For example, …show more content…
Choice is the biggest theme of this book because everything someone did was a choice. The author wants people to start thinking about how they are treating other people and make the right choices throughout life. This book was filled with choices through every character mentioned in the stories. “But halfway home, he stopped, thought about it, and headed to Rosie's just in case,” (Asher 140). Marcus had a choice to just go home or actual check if Hannah was waiting for him, and if he just went home he could have avoided so much unnecessary drama or maybe not even be on the tapes. At the same time, Hannah also could’ve avoided all of this by either not going to Rosie’s or leaving after ten minutes because marcus was more than thirty minute late anyways. The choices the people made a big impact in someone’s life, but they didn’t even realize it till it was too …show more content…
This book was mainly sad because almost all the words are coming from a dead girl, and the only reason why somebody would be listening to the tapes would be if they did something to her which made do what she did. There are some stories that give a different kind of vibe, but at the end of all the tapes she somehow finds a way to blame them and the vibe quickly changes. “At the end of class, Mrs. Bradley passed out a flyer called The Warning Signs of a Suicidal Individual. Guess what was right up there in the top five?” (Asher 173). She makes it seem like a joke that she killed herself; however it is a very serious topic, yet many people don’t take this topic as serious as it should be taken.
This book was very enjoyable to read and I would definitely recommend it to someone else. I never wanted to put the book down because it just keeps going on and on, and each story is about someone else and as u read on you just want to know who the tape is about and what they did to Hannah Baker. A character from 13 Reasons Why can definitely somehow relate to any person. Some people may say this is a book with the plot of a basic high school story, but this one is very different and has more real life problems that some people may be able to relate
