Leave Me Broken


    In Thirteen Reasons Why it explains and shows many examples of how little things you may think are insignificant, can have big impacts on other peoples' lives. Every action had consequences. The words of Hannah's classmates haunted her. Many false rumors starting to spread about Hannah Baker gave the wrong people an excuse to cross the line, which broke Hannah. Another theme that you come across in this book is suicide. Many teenagers can relate to Hannah because everyone has gotten bullied or has had problems in their life. This book sends very important messages, for example, sometimes if a person is considering suicide all they need is a little push,and a little comment can just be that extra "push" for letting go.
    Memories are always brought up in this book. Clay remembers Hannah. He loved her but never built up the courage to speak with her. I’m listening to someone give up. Someone I knew. Someone I liked. I’m listening but I’m still too late. Clay Jensen was so shocked after her realized he was a reason for Hannah's death. Guilt. He felt guilty and he wished he would have tried harder to help Hannah, even though she pushed him away. Clay had no choice but to fulfill Hannah's last wishes and listen to the tapes.
   “When you mess with one part of a person’s life, you’re messing with their entire life. Everything affects everything.” Hannah became weaker as her life came to an end. She was sick and disgusted by all the lies. The secrets. You never know what kind of battle someone is already going through. Things will not get better if you're not wanting to ask for help, or in Hannah's case, not even able to help yourself. Hannah would get suicidal thoughts every now and then, but at one point her thoughts turned into a mischievous scheme, against herself.

THEMES.
