Week 2 Blog (Guided Response)
I started off reading this book 13 Reason’s Why, sort of interesting, and definitely a book I would have ever picked out to read for myself. As far as the book text it’s not hard on my eyes so it doesn’t blur up as much. The author Jay Asher seems like a respectable author among his peers. I’m not really sure yet if the main character is a boy or girl yet. The way the story starts off is a dead woman who recorded her life story before killing herself and passing the tapes to those who supposedly had something to do with it. It kind of threw me for a loop but I eventually figured out the reason why Asher would write this book. From reading the back of the book I guess Clay is a guy. I have no clue why I was thinking maybe a girl. So now my thoughts on him are put in my perspective because I am a guy. When he first received the tapes he thought it’s a mistake or some sort of joke. That’s exactly how I would have reacted in that situation. Well I can’t necessarily say that either because I would have taken it a couple of steps further. I would have been calling friends like who playing man, quit you too old for this. In saying that I wouldn’t give Clay that much praise from what I read so far. I don’t know maybe I could change my stance on it.
Interesting, Jeremy! When you finish the book, you should read the Q and A with the author. I think you'll enjoy the reasons behind some of the choices he made.

Yeah I think that Clay is probably a big part of why Hannah killed herself.
