One object that symbolizes

The one objects that symbolize Thirteen Reasons Why are the tapes that Hannah makes. Without these tapes there would not be a book. These tapes show Hannah's hurt and what caused her to end her life. These people that she talk about on the tape symbolize the theme because they were not careful how they treated others. They treated Hannah bad and now she is gone. Hannah made these tapes so these people could realize what they did to her. She wanted them to feel the way she always did. They should pay for what they did. The emotional way they will feel after they hear what she has to say will scar them for the rest of their lives. Therefore, the tapes do show the main theme.

Improve my life from a reading.

From today's reading I would take away that you should be careful how you treat someone. It may come back on you later. When you are mean to a person you have no clue how it may be affecting them. It may hurt them in a deeper way than they really show you. Hannah killed herself because of other people. Would you want to be the reason for someone ending their life? A person would feel awful if they were responsible for another's death. Therefore you should always watch how you treat people and treat them the way you want to be treated.

Something else by this author

Yes, I would read something else by this author. I really enjoyed the book Thirteen Reason Why by Jay Asher. He is a very good author. The creativity he put in this book caught my attention. The perspective from Hannah while she is dead made me want to keep reading it. Not many other authors would think of creating a book like this. I think that if he had another book I would read it because he is a very good author. I would want to see how creative he could be in his next book. Therefore, if Jay Usher created another book I would read it.

Author's Message

In the book Thirteen Reasons Why the author portrays a very evident message. This book tells the story of a girl who killed herself through the perspective of the tapes she recorded before she died. There are many reasons for Hannah Baker killing herself. All of these reasons happen to be people. She was effected in a bad way by others in her life. They called her bad names and back stabbed her. They even broke her heart. She feels that now they should pay the consequence. They should hear, from her what role they played in her death. Overall the author's message is thinking before you act. You should think about how you treat someone and how it affects their life. Sometimes you may not think you are hurting someone but you may have a deeper effect on them than they display. I see this throughout the book because these people that did these things to Hannah did not think before they acted. Therefore, they made bad choices.

Describe the main character in detail.

I am reading the book, A Child Called "It" by Dave Pelzer. The main character is David. As a child he is beaten by his mother. He is a very nice young boy and I feel sorry for him because he has an awful childhood. David is abused by his mother. He has scars, bruises, and cuts all over his body. He wears the same clothes each day because his mother wants him to  be embarrassed. David's hygiene is not good, he smells rather bad and the kids at school plug their nose as he walks by. Through all the hatred he still goes to school because he can escape from his evil mother. David is emotionally unsound. He is scared of everything because no matter what he will get beaten. He tries his best not to trigger his mother's anger but she goes off on him no matter what. David will never be the same emotionally from all the trauma he has been put through. Although he lives an awful life David is still a good kid. He tries to take pride in his studies to free himself from his mother. He is very nice to others and he is a generous and good-mannered boy.  He would never do anything to hurt anyone and he is nice other despite the taunting he might get. I would say it is a great accomplishment to go through what David has and still pick the good things out in life and be a good kid at that.

Traits in a person you know

I am reading A Child Called "It" by Dave Pelzer. I believe that Miss Woods resembles Mrs. Frake in some ways. They are both loving and caring people. If what happened to the main character in this book happened to me Mrs. Frake would cry and hug me just like Miss Woods did to him. She would feel deep sorrow for me because she could not do anything for me. That is how Miss Woods feels this way also. Both Mrs. Frake and Miss Woods are generous and good-hearted people. They care about others and will do anything to help someone in need. Miss Woods was crying because she felt bad for the young boy. Mrs. Frake would also do this, she would cry because she felt very bad for the individual that was being hurt. This is why I can say they are both very similar.
