13 reasons why

We are reading thirteen reasons why right now as a class read. I have not finished the book, I am about to the middle of the book. Its about a girl who killed herself and is now sending around tapes to the people that she blames. I think in this book as of right now she is being very sensitive about everything that happened. I have been through high school and everything she is going through right now i think is something that an average everyday high school girl goes through. Rumors and harsh things that upper class men say is just the way high school is, you just can't let it get to you. In the reading she meets friends in the beginning of the reading and when they start going to school they eventually separate and go of in there own direction. She gets very upset by this and I just see this as a everyday school thing. You meet new people and forget about the friends you had. Also she meets her first kiss and he tell everyone that they did more than a kiss. That in my eyes is a normal freshmen boy who is just trying to be cool and fit in. He is trying to fit in with the upper class men and get is reputation up to be a popular kid. Yeah is wrong and it does make you angry i'm sure but things like that eventually die off and everyone forgets about it. But i haven't finished the reading yet so it could be that these events lead up to bigger events that could changer her life and make her not want to be here anymore.

  1. There are definitely "bigger" events that are coming. But, I can completely understand your impressions right now, Kelsy.

    Thoughtful post!
