Thirteen People Why

The title of Thirteen Reasons Why is relevant to thirteen reasons for why a girl, Hannah, killed herself. Before she died, she recorded tapes talking about thirteen people that unintentionally pushed her toward her death. After she dies, she sends the tapes to all thirteen people on the tapes and shows one boy getting the tapes, not realizing what he did to her. To me, the title is thirteen reasons why she killed herself and, even though she says at the beginning that she doesn’t blame everyone on the tapes for what she did, I think she was blaming them. I have only gotten to the fourth person on the tapes, but I think she was showing how they started pushing her to her edge, but that they could have prevented it.

There have only been small things that the first couple of people did, but they were small enough. One small thing can drive a person mad, even to their death. Hannah was hurt by the things they did, but thought that everything wrong that was happening was her fault. She wanted to die; she didn’t feel like she was wanted. So she came up with thirteen reasons why, or thirteen people why, she killed herself.
