My New Book

I am about to start reading “Thirteen Reasons Why” by Jay Asher. The story is told by a young boy named Clay Jensen and he has a crush on a girl named Hannah Baker. Clay comes home one day to find a box of tapes that Hannah left for him. Hannah is dead and the tapes contain her thirteen reasons why and Clay is about to find out that he is one of them.

I had a couple books to read before I read this one so I lent it to a friend because I was telling her about it and she wanted to read it. She said that is was really depressing, but really good at the same time. I am very excited to begin reading it.

PREDICTIONS
When I think about it, I have a feeling that it is one of those situations where a boy likes a girl, but the girl wants nothing to do with the boy. I don’t think that Clay is going to be the main reason why Hannah is dead or anything but maybe something that Clay said or did could have just influenced Hannah’s decision to commit suicide.

Another option could be that Hannah had an even bigger crush on Clay than Clay had on her. Maybe she thought Clay didn’t like her at all and she was feeling scared and alone. That is the reason some people commit suicide, because they don’t think the person that they love, loves them back.

    All i can say is WOW!!! this book sounds like an amazing story.. and i would like to read it when your done if you dont mind.. I agree with your statement that some people commit suicide because they think people dont like them. In a way i think we can understand how they feel... I feel that it is important to try and make evryone feel involved than maybe they will fell less alone.. I also know that parents can also be a huge factor when people commit suicide.. I once knew this girl who commited suicide because she felt she wasnt perfect enough for her family.. I also think when things like suicide happen you need to be supportive for family cause its hard, harder than when you just loose someone.. i think this because you feel like its your fault if you would have talked to the person more or invited them to do stuff more often or simply just told them how much you just enjoy having them in your life might help.. but telling someone its their fault is not the way to go you might push them into suicide as well.. but ummm i think this is super long so i think ill quit haha lol... but i totally wanna borrow this if its ok??

    It is amazing! Have you finished the book yet? I want to know what you think of it. How did it make you feel? What do you think the authors purpose was for writing a book like this?

It's interesting to learn about Miles because he seems so calm and collected, like he is his own person who sticks to his principles, but once he starts hanging out with Alaska and The Colonel, he begins smoking, which he originally had no intention of doing in his life. I'm predicting that he is going to get into some bad habits soon. I think this because of some of the things that go through his head and how he feels about certain things.

BRUNO

I have just begun reading “ The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas ” by Johne Boyne. I am enjoying it so far because right of the start you want to know why Bruno and his family left Berlin. We know that it was because his father had to go there for work, but Bruno doesn’t know exactly what it is that his father does, and neither do the readers. When they get to the new house Bruno looks out his window and sees a BIG fence with spikes on it. There are huts in the fence and a lot of little boys and old boys and they are all wearing grey and blue stripped pajamas. At the new house there are soldiers all over the place. These soldiers work for Bruno’s father. I am starting to think that Bruno’s father is Hitler. If I’m wrong, he works for Hitler and that I am very sure about. The maid, Maria, says that the soldiers work for his father and even though they don’t say it in the book, they are living outside a concentration camp (I think that’s what they are called). I also think this because they...

Looking for Alaska

I have recently begun reading Looking for Alaska by John Greene. Nothing has happened yet to really grab my attention. Just like when I read Living Dead Girl . I have mainly been reading this book at school but I plan to take a day and read a good chunk of it soon, just like I did with Living Dead Girl . This book is sort of neutral to me at the moment, if that makes sense. It’s just a normal situation right now. There have been a few incidents that I find interesting. Fights with girls friends and oh, almost drowning in a lake. I couldn’t forget that one. All I’m saying is that there are enough interesting things happening to keep me wanting to read it. A Bad Boy Can Be Good For a Girl by Tanya Lee Stone Two of my friends have read this book and said it was really good and worth reading weather you could relate to it or not. It was just one of those books that every girl should read. It would either help you get closure on a past relationship (relating to the book), or warn you for a...
