Thirteen Reasons Why

"Thirteen Reasons Why" is a book by Jay Asher. He has wrote another book I read, "The Future of Us", which I enjoyed quite a lot.
The book is about a girl, Hannah Baker, who committed suicide. Clay Jensen, the main character, received a package. He thought nothing of it, since it was just a normal plain packaging box with no return address. Clay was excited, maybe the package was from an admire, or something else exciting. With growing curiosity, he snatched up the package from his porch and raced up to his room. He was hit with confusion when he saw inside was only cassette tapes. Thirteen to be exact. Clay thought about how he would play these since he doesn't have a cassette player. His quick thinking lands him in his garage, sitting at a table with an old radio that plays cassettes. He pops in the first one, all is normal until the sound of Hannah's voice make it through. Immediately, Clay stops moving. He thought that he would never hear her voice again. More into Hannah speaking, she explains how the tapes were sent to people who have played a role in her life, every tape is for one person.
Thirteen cassettes for thirteen people. The ones who have made an impact on her life.

  1. This is a great start, but where is the rest of the assignment? You should have a second paragraph about conflict and theme.
