II.Theme

Hallo everyone😄✌. Today we're gonna discuss the major theme of Thirteen Reasons Why an how it is relevant to bookBut 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 different/false choices created. Without specific choices Hannah might have never commited suicide. And with some choices Hannah's suicide could have been prevented. For example if Hannah wouldn't have gone to the date with Marcus Cooley (Before going to the date, she actually questioned herself whether she should do this) the chain reaction could have stopped, maybe. Or an another example: Mr. Porter were able to help Hannah but he made the false choices and after the conversation with him Hannah killed herself.
To sum up, the choices which were made in the book are elementery parts of the book, because all choices are in some way connected and in the end they all effect Hannah to commit suicide. With other choices the book would be quite different.

I hope you've enjoyed me explaining my opinion on the major theme of Thirteen Reasons Why. Bye, Bye👋

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.

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.
