Guided. About Clay

The main character, Clay, I like so far. He seems to be really nice and doesn’t seem to be a bad kid but I do not know why he is in the book so far. Through out the first part of the book he seems to come across and a girl, to me, but later you find out he is a boy and it changes a lot of my thinking. He is thoughtful and considerate and does what is asked of him because he feels it is his duty, which I completely agree. I do not think he did anything wrong to Hannah but everyone else has been negative so far so I am not too sure yet. As of right now I think he deserves a lot of credit just because he is willing to go through all of this for her. Most people would say forget it and just throw the tapes away because they would rather not know but Clay follows through with Hannah’s wishes. He goes to every spot she asks of them and listens very closely and connects everything with what happened to him at those times. He doesn’t seem like he blames anyone or judges them for what they have done, he just accepts it and realizes that everyone makes mistakes but does not realize how important they really are. At this point in the book I think Clay is a good kid and tries to do the right thing all the time and I do not think that anyone should say bad things about him but that all may change by the end of the book.

  1. I think Clay is a good kid, too. Although I wonder about the author's choice to tell the story through him. I mean, why Clay? Also, even though it's from his point of view, we never really get to know him too much.
