As the book goes on the narrator, Clay Jensen, is getting a side of each of the people that he did not think existed. Clay seems to get more mad and disappointed at each person for the things they did to Hannah. All the things that those who are before him on the tapes are heartless, selfish, and cruel. Those on the tapes so far used Hannah for one reason or another, either to get back at someone else, thought they could get somewhere with her because of a rumor, or to get her to take them where ever they wanted( used for her car). The sad part of this book is that if you were to go into any junior or high school you will see this exact same thing happening to another student. Sometimes the student does not realize it, just in denial, or is just like Hannah. The schools are either to blind to see it or just turn their head at it until something like suicide happens to do anything about it. As Clay is hearing everything that has happened to Hannah so far he can not get what he did to her to put himself on the tapes. I personally think that he is on the tapes because he did nothing to help her he was to afraid to approach her and she saw that in him. I have not gotten that far in the book yet but I think that is what is going to happen.

  1. I was relieved when I finally got to Clay's section.

    It's a pretty intense book, isn't it?

    Very thoughtful post, Monica. This shows some real analysis and critical thinking.
