Choice Book Project Qt. 4

       I read the book Th1rteen R3asons Why by Jay Asher. The main character in this book is Clay Jensen. Clay is a brunette who is a freshman in high school. He went to the same school as the girl who committed suicide, Hannah Baker. Hannah sends 13 people tapes explainging that they are the reasons she killed herself. One of these people includes Clay. I think Clay is a shy, caring and a loving person.
       When they talk about Clay in the book, they say that he was always scared to ask out Hannah. She was popular and a lot of people liked her and he was frightened. They also said he didn't have as many friends. The friends he did have weren't as popular either. He thought if he did ask out Hannah she would reject him. This is why I think he is a shyer person.
       In the book they talked about Hannah and Clay being at the same party. A guy was trying to hit on Hannah and she tried to stop him, but he kept going. Hannah eventually got away from him. She ran into Clay and she told him what happened. Clay comforted her to make things better and he did. This shows that he is a very caring person.
       Later in the book when they talk about Hannah sending him the tapes, he said that he always loved and cared for her and that would never change. He wished she never committed suicide. One time Clay talked about how him and Hannah made out at a different party. She slapped him afterwards. He regretting doing that to her because he said he loved her and never wanted to hurt her. This is why I think he is a loving person.
      He always wanted to be there for Hannah even when he couldn't. He wasn't the main reason and as a matter of fact he wasn't a reason at all for her killing herself. She wanted to thank him for being one of the only people to care for him.
       There are many good qualities about Clay including shy, loving, and caring. Overall I think Clay is a very good person.



       I really enjoyed this book. There was nothing boring about it and always kept me interested to keep reading. I thought overall it was a really terrific book.
      It was interesting to read that she sent tapes to everybody explaining why she killed herself. They were the reasons she did and she wanted them to know that.
       I recommend this book to anybody that like teenage drama books. There is a lot in this book including Hannah killing herself because she thought nobody cared enough to stop her at all. There is a lot of drama about all the guys that hurt Hannah and what they tried to do with her. Clay was the best person in her life because he helped her through all her problems and comforted her a lot.
       The book wasn't boring because there was always something going on. They were always talking about Hannah's interesting life and why she killed herself. It's non-boring how she tells the people why she killed herself. Most of them started rumors about her. All of the people except Clay were horrific reasons why she killed herself.
       There are many reasons why I liked this book, but those were the main reasons. This book was very non-boring and interesting. Also I recommend this book to anyone who likes teen drama.
