VI. Thirteen Reasons Why to raise awareness for mental health?

VI. Thirteen Reasons Why  to raise awareness for mental health? Hello folks👋, welcome to my new post. Thirteen Reasons Why deals with the subjects of suicide and mental health problems. That's why the question we're going to discuss today is: Is  Thirteen Reasons Why a good way to raise awareness for mental health and bullying? Let's get started❗ Mental health problems and bullying, especially among teenagers, are important topics we must talk about in our society to prevent self-injury or suicide. Unfortunetly, it is sometimes difficult to spot the signs of mental health problems. Also, many people who are bullying other people don't know the effects of their behaviour. That is the reason why we have to raise awareness for these topics. What are good ways to do this? Are books like  Thirteen Reasons Why a good way? On the one hand the opponents argue although books like  Thirteen Reasons Why  can raise awareness, they can't help the invidiual reader...

V. Creative Writing

The day after Maybe you understood my little reference😉 Anyway, welcome back👋 Today's post will be a little different. I won't talk about the book. I will try to write a diary entry of an fictional student about the day after Hannah took her life. It may be not as funny as the last posts (if they even were funny) but I hope you'll enjoy it anyway. Have fun (or not)❗ Dear Diary (let's forget this), today was a very sad and strange and different day on school. But let's start at the beginning. When I walked to school everything was still normal, a day like any other. But when I entered it seemed that something terrible must have happened and that nothing was normal. On the floors nobody was screaming, everybody was silent. Everybody looked on the ground. I didn't know what had happened but I hoped it wasn't an another car crash where someone had died. Suddenly my friend appeared next to me and told me what had happened. It was even worse than I ha...

IV. Why does Clay receive the tapes?

IV. Why does Clay receive the tapes? Clay, honey, your name does not belong on this list. […] You don’t belong in the same way as the others. It’s like that song: ‘One of these things is not like the others. One of these things just doesn’t belong.’ And that’s you, Clay. But you need to be here if I’m going to tell my story. To tell it more completely. If you've read the book you'll probably remember this quote. It's from Hannah, explaining why Clay is on the list. You may have your own interpretation of this quote and a different opinion why Clay received the tapes. And that is what this post will be about. But first a big warm hello and welcome back on my blog👋 As I mentioned above, in this post we'll discuss the reason of Clay receiving the tapes. I'll present you my opinion to this topic, but of course you're allowed to share your thoughts in the comments. Let's get started❗ While reading the quote I'm thinking Hannah didn't put Clay on t...

III.Characterisation

III.Characterisation of Clay Jensen Clay Jensen receive the tapes Hey guys👋 it's time for a new post. Last time, we dicussed what the theme of Thirteen Reasons Why  could be. In this post we're gonna talk a bit more about the persons in the book, especially Clay Jensen . T herefore I'm going to present you a characterisation of him. Have fun ❕❗ (A small remark first: In the book the outer appearence and personal data of Clay is not completely described, that's why I'll also use some information from the series to the book.) Clay Jensen is a 16-year-old american boy attending the " Liberty High School ". He lives in Crestmont located in California and works in a movie theater called " The Crestmont ". He's a tall, good-looking (I know, that's objective) young-man with blue eyes and brown hair. He also has a rather square face. Clay is a very interesting character because in the book his character traits aren't really menti...

II.Theme

II.Theme Hallo everyone😄✌. Today we're gonna discuss the major theme of Thirteen Reasons Why an how it is relevant to book .  But what  exatly  is a theme? You may think a theme is the same as a topic, but it isn't. A topic is a general subject that is treated by a book or a text. A theme  is an idea in a fictional literary work, for example one theme of Dead Poets Society could be "the challenges of growing up". So once we've cleared that up, let's get started❗ The first thing we have to do before we define the major theme is finding the topic of the book we're talking about. So in case of  Thirteen Reasons Why the topic is suicide  or suicide warning signs . And once we have that we could search a theme that goes along with our topic. So the major theme I'd found out is choices . I think that is the most relevant theme to the book, because the book and the suicide of Hannah are based on the choices which were made and the chain reaction the...

I. Perspective

Thirteen Reasons Why Hallo everyone❗👋, 9ereads... is back! Included all of my classmates and myself. You know, the book I presented the last time was Dead Poets Society . The new book we're gonna talk about in this post and the next few others is Thirteen Reasons Why . It's a book by Jay Asher and it's about a teenager named Hannah Baker who sends tapes with thirteen reasons why she decided to commit suicide to the people connected to them. So let's begin❕ I.Perspective The first thing you'll notice if you're reading the book is that the story is told in two different perpectives. The first perpective is Clay's one. About Clay I'll talk in a later post. The second perspective is Hannah's one. But w hy did the author choose to put Hannah's voice into the book rather than to describe what Clay heard (on the tapes)? Firstly, the book is mainly about the thirteen reason why Hannah decided to commit suicide. So it would make sense that she w...
