guided response #1
The title of the book I think was a great title. I am only into the second reason why but I think that the title fits perfectly so far. As soon as you read the title it catches your eye and makes you wonder. So many possibilities could be why the author chose this title. Each reason you read in the book makes you wonder what the next person had done to her and makes you wonder how bad it could be. Suicide is a major decision and for there to be thirteen reasons why you wonder so many different things. Not only is there thirteen reason why but it is also thirteen different people and your concerns make you think how some things that happen be such a problem with this girl considering that probably so many people out there go through the same thing. What makes this girl take these things so personally to do something so selfish as to commit suicide? Because of this question it makes me want to read more to find out if it all comes together or if she was just selfish. Another thing that I wonder about is what she was trying to prove by telling the thirteen reasons. For her to do these tapes and to sit and think about the reasons that she must have had this planned for awhile. I just could not imagine the guilt that I would put on someone and the reputation I would give them to everyone if I sent tapes out like that. For someone to do that to someone else must have had a major impact from them on their life, or what used to be.

This is such a thoughtful blog, Kaleb. The entire time I read this novel, a huge sense of dread was building in my stomach. Just like you said, it seemed like with every person her situation got worse...like a snowball effect.
