The emotions I received after reading the text in the book were two things. One of them was sadness. I mean you would have to be a cold heartless person to not feel a little sadness for what happened to poor Hannah Baker. Apparently Hannah felt she had only one way out of all the gossip and bullying that was bestowed upon her. Hannah felt the only way to stop all the pain inside her and finally give herself peace was to pop some pills and end her life.
The second emotion I received while reading was anger. From what I’ve read so far the things that happened to Hannah haven’t been that bad. I mean, I bet there are thousands of people out there in the world now that are having the same or similar situations that Hannah has had to deal with. From what I’ve read I don’t think Hannah has owned up to any of this. Some of the things that have happened she put herself into those situations. Like for instance with the peeping tom who we found out was Tyler. Hannah could have called the police letting them know someone was trespassing in her yard and was also peeping at her. She also made it worse by playing into the situation by giving another girl massages while he was outside her window when she was well aware he was taking pictures of them. Hannah did this quite a bit through this story when, if she would have thought things through more, she could have protected herself from rejection or what not. And to top it off she places blame on these thirteen people who are going to have to deal with this the rest of their lives. I mean if it was so bad she couldn’t take it why would you want others to feel that way.
I totally agree, I just think so people done have a backbone. You can totally tell that Hannah has some physicological problems, she doesn't defend herself which she should. I even think she takes things way out of context.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, I am almost done with it and i keep wondering if there is something i just don't know about her that has yet to be said, i still feel like there is a piece of the puzzle missing!
ReplyDeleteMaybe if she would have told somebody her thoughts, she may have reconsidered suicide?
ReplyDeleteI am absolutely in agreement with you on this one. Hannah has some major issues in her life and she should have talked to someone. Most teens are like this and I don't really see the relavance of taking your own life because of rumor.....
ReplyDeleteI agree, Haylee. It's hard to watch the downward spiral. It gives readers the chance to ask "What if?" but it's also frustrating.
ReplyDeleteI feel such a wasted loss when I read this book.
