Hannah Baker's Death

Decent Essays
Ordinarily, everyone at least once regrets or wishes that they didn't do something in their life. Accordingly, the thirteen people that Hannah mention in her tapes feels this way. Hannah felt unworthy to be alive, felt her character was defamed, uneasy, forego, woeful and just like she couldn't fit in. Consequently these thirteen people can never live life as they would have or had wanted to, just knowing that they were part of a reason that somebody’s life was ending early. They can never be happy fully like they used to, they could never walk or talk just as easily. They won’t be able to have fun like the old days either, knowing deep inside that they were one of many reasons, that Hannah Baker is dead.

Lynda Koolish sees Brooks’ poem not only as an account of the boy’s death, but also as a source of insight into “the issue of individual transformation” when one is exposed to such violence (citation). Koolish believes the boy’s death, like that of other African American boys, was a “secondary [cause] to racism, poverty, powerlessness, and despair” (citation). The speaker, as recognized by Koolish, feels a sense of “accountability, not self-indulgent guilt” and “it is that accountability” that “transforms the waste of a young man's life into not only the hope for a different world but a call to action” (citation).…
