Prompt: summarizing about the story and the settings
Pages: 160-288

In this book along with the tapes Hanna also sent the people a map with stars on it. Each star is connected to one story and one person. So after that person was done listening to the tape they had the option of going to that star on the map and find out the whole story or just settle for what the tapes said. So Clay went to every place on the map and I am going to talk about the two places that I think had the biggest impact on Hannas decision.

The first places I am going to talk about is the fourth place on the map. It is this boys house the boy's name it Tom also known as Peeping Tom. One day Hanna was in her room when she heard a click of a camera but she thought it was nothing until she heard it several times and that is when she looked out side her window but did't see anyone. So the next day she getts this girl to help her catch the person taking pictures of her in her room. Hanna and the girl end up never seeing the kid but they did find out that the person did go to there school so they asked around. Everyone said just at my house except one person Tom he got defensive when they asked him and that is when Hanna knew it was him. This was important because that was Hannas only safe haven and it was taken away from her. Clay ended up walking to Toms house and found Marcus there throwing rocks at Toms window because he wanted Tom to know what it was like to not have any privacy in his own room. That is where figured out how much privacy ment to Hanna. 

The second places im going to talk about is the eighth place on the map. It is the library because Hanna loved poetry and there was a camp there for poetry so she signed up. And that is where she met Ryan he wrote the schools Lost-N-Found Gazette he would look in the lost and found and find the most interesting thing he could find and wright a article about it. Ryan ended up going to the camp also and they would show each others there poem and Ryan loved one of Hannas poem's he asked if he could wright an article on it but Hanna said no. So the next day the new Gazette came out and Hanna found out that her poem was on it it was stolen from her. This was important because it took her love away from poetry. Poetry was one of the very few things she still loved in her life.

Pages:0-160

     This book is about a girl who commits suicide her name is Hanna Baker. But before she died she left 13 recordings . The cassettes where of her talking about why she killed herself and the people that had to do with it. So for each recording there was a person so therefore the name 13 reasons. So the day before she died she mailed the full of the recordings to the first person of the first recording.

      Each person has to listen to there story and why caused Hanna to kill her self. After that their are two things the person can do,they can either keep listening and learn about the whole story behind is who els was apart of it. Or they can listen to the next recording just enough to find out who the next person was and send it to them. If they end up not listening to it then there would be a second copy of the recording sent out into public so the whole world find out what they did to Hanna.

     
She narrator of the book was not Hanna or the recordings but a friend of Hannas who was on the tape. Clay was the name of the friend and the story will go on and off between the recordings and Clays experiences throughout the book. When he does get the BOX he is very puzzeld to why he is on the recordings he never did anything he was even her friend. After a hour of listening he learned that he wasent the first to get the box full of the life changing objects.

Prompt: Summarize about the characters
Pages 175-295

     The first character I want to talk about is Melody she is the main character. She has a condition call Cerebral Palsy it makes her not capable of walking,writing,and talking. So she is basically incapable of communicating naturally. So all teachers and doctors think that she is not capable of learning which is entirely wrong because she is one of the smartest kids in her graded but is just not capable of showing it. She is a very positive girl even though lots of kids do make fun of her and think she is dump. That is why I think she is one of the more inspiring characters I have read about.

      Rose is going to be my second character I want to talk about. She is the one person who stands up to the bullies that pick on Melody and is Melodies only friend. She is very organized and is also a perfectionist. The one real flau with Rase is that she sometimes goes and hangs out with Molly and Claire (The Two people that bullie Melody the most) and leaves Melody behind. But overall Rose is a very good friend to Melody even some times goes and hangs out with Melody even when she dosent want to just to make Melody feel good.

      The last person I want to talk about is Mrs.Valencia. She is Melodies neighbor and is pretty much  Melodies older best friend. She babysites Melody and her little sister Penny all the time. Mrs.V is one of the most important people to Melody right next to her parents because she is so positive about everything Melody accomplishes and does. Mrs.V is also a very important piece in Melodies learning development.  Mrs.V also has Melodies parents trust 100 persent because of how nice and caring for Melody she is.

       This story is about a 11 year old girl that has photographical memory.Yes is easily one of the most brilliant kids in the school but no one knows it because she can't wright can't walk and can't talk! It is terrible because everyone thinks she is dumb. Even her teachers don't think she is capable of learning even though she knows everything an average kid would know. Imagine having to keep all of you emotions inside and not be able to tell anybody out them.

        So instead of going to the regulare class she is stuck in the special ED class. So every day Melody is faced with having to learn the exact same thing every day. The was only one person who really thought that Melody had learning potential and that was her mother she was the one always arguing at the doctors that she is capable of learning and even arguing at the teachers to move her up into the normal classes.

        So one day Melody was given a personal divise that gave her the chance to choose words that she wanted to say but the words were very limited. Finally after years of waiting the school opened up a programe that allowed the special ED kids to go to regulare classes and learn what the average kid would learn. But of course there always has to be a couple of bully's that would make fun of Melody  when she would't be listening. But like always there has to be one nice girl that would defend Melody when they would make fun of her and that girls name is Rose Melody's only friend.
