Unfold Me



  The main conflict in Thirteen Reasons Why is that Hannah has committed suicide and left tapes. Hannah was tired and sick of everything so now, every single person who received her message, their lives' have changed. Clay Jenson has no idea why he was on Hannah's tapes but he is now conflicted because his love, Hannah Baker is dead. Clay had a goal to try to get through all the tapes, to find his name, to know what mistake drove Hannah to end her life. Hannah was a very smart girl. She gave a second set of tapes to someone in their school and threatened to make her tapes public if anyone refused to pass them on. But who? Hannah gave her second set of tapes to boy named Tony, she knew that he was loyal. Tony played a big part in this book, because he would follow each reason around and made sure they received the tapes, fulfilling Hannah's last wishes. Tony comforts Clay, he drives him around while Clay listens to his tape.The climax in this book was when Clay heard his name on the tapes. Clay was Hannah's ninth reason...sort of. 
      Hannah sent Clay the tapes so she could explain to him why she killed herself, for him to fill in the blanks, she said he didn't even belong on these tapes. Clay felt bad after listening to his tapes, he regretted not fighting for Hannah, he regretted not trying as hard as he could. But he never knew...how could he? Hannah pushed him away. He was the only person at school who saw Hannah for who she really was, he didn't believe any rumors about her. Hannah and Clay had a connection. A real connection.
