Recommended: Bullying on children and teenagers

I read 13 reasons why, by Jay Asher. This book was about hannah baker, 16 year old high schooler who loved candy, hot chocolate, reading poetry and blue nail polish. She went to a new school and experienced bullying. She committed suicide when a bunch of rumors at school wouldn't stop being spread. She then wrote a list, stating 13 reasons why she committed suicide. Then she sent it to everyone that was on it. This book bring attentions to teens about bullying and the harms of bullying. One thing i disliked about the book was, there was a lack of suspense in action. A lot of teens and people in general seek out for action that keeps them on the edge of their seat, maybe even a mesmerising plot twist. In this book there just wasn't enough

    The book had a few characters that I liked, but a lot of characters that I disliked. For example Yasmine was a character that I disliked. I didn’t like her because she brought pain to Paige’s life. Yasmine and Paige were best friends for months in Sixth grade. They were constantly doing fun activities together, like having sleepovers or planning each other’s birthday parties, but all that was ruined by a mistake Yasmine made. Paige and Yasmine were at a school dance, when

    I think my favorite thing about this novel was the realistic ending. Some books try to just give you a fairy tale but this book had an ending that mad you think in the end if I was in the same position would I do the same thing. I didn’t like the fact that the novel portrayed mental illness in a way to say that it needed to be hidden and protected. I thought this novel was very believable for the time period that it was set in. I think the ending to this novel was perfect it was an accurate ending to this

    What I liked about the book was the mystery. I loved not knowing what was going to happen next, and having to figure out the story. It was very unpredictable, though at times it became confusing. I could defiantly imagine myself in the book. There was heaps of different mysteries being solved, and it made the end very dramatic. It was great, I could not stop reading! The book was great, even though I do not usually read this type of books. It was very interesting and I really enjoyed it. The author did a great job.

    I found the book to be easy, exciting reading because the story line was very realistic and easily relatable. This book flowed for me to a point when, at times, it was difficult to put down. Several scenes pleasantly caught me off guard and some were extremely hilarious, namely, the visit to Martha Oldcrow. I found myself really fond of the char...

    I think the book was good, not great but just good. It has a great story, though there are parts that I hate. What I don't like about it is how most of the characters are killed off during the end. My favorite part is when Rosa is punished for what she did to Matt . The book wasn't confusing at all, nor was it predictable. Over all I recommend this book to students my age I like it, so I give It a 3.9 out of 5

  • Quotes For Thirteen Reasons Why

    1271 Words  | 3 Pages

    Suicide is when someone takes their own life because they feel like there is no other way out or that they do not matter. In addition to the novel, a Netflix original TV series has come out based on the book. The executive producer Tom McCarthy explains, “...When you get a piece of material like this that’s actually about something? You take that seriously and you really hope the discussion begins and will continue.” Sheff echoed that sentiment in his Vanity Fair piece: “I’m proud to be a part of a television series that is forcing us to have these conversations, because silence really does equal death.” The TV show and book are forcing people to have conversations about suicide, which is helping society because as Sheff put it, silence equals death. With this in mind, making students talk about it at school could break down imaginary walls that divide students and mold schools into a more encouraging place for kids to go to. Also, Based off of the article ‘13 Reasons Why Controversial Depiction of Teen Suicide Has School Counselors Picking Up the Pieces’, The book Thirteen Reasons Why “has also been lauded for starting a conversation about suicide, which is the second leading cause of death among teens.” The quote clearly states that suicide is the second leading cause of death among teens, so this topic is very relevant to the school and the students inside of it. This

    Evaluation:      I thought the book was very exciting and suspenseful like her other books. The book had very good detail and an interesting plot. I liked the twist when Juan and the girl’s father came upon Glenn walking down the road. I also liked how the author described the action in great detail. It made me feel like I was right there seeing it all happen firsthand. I don’t think that the author could’ve made this book any better than she did already.

    I did not like the ending of the story. I found that the ending was very predictable and anticlimactic, especially when all the tension was being built up throughout the rest of the book. When I was nearing the end of the book I was already starting to envision the ending of the book and when I got to the end I was disappointed to see that I was correct. I would have preferred if the ending was more of a cliff-hanger and ended completely different than anyone would have expected.
