13 Reasons Why: Character Analysis + Writing in role 

Clay Jenson and Hannah Baker: 

 " Hello, boys and girls. Hannah Baker here. I hope your ready, because I'm about to tell you the story of my life. More specifically; why my life ended. " - Page 7
 
     My name is Hannah Baker, i'm an attractive and pretty girl with long hair. I used to be an ordinary new student in Freshman until i had my very first kiss with Justin. Although all i did with Justin was just a kiss, but  Justin spread a wrong rumor that they did something more than just a kiss. Due to this rumor, my reputation started to fall.. And sooner than later my so called " friend" Alex, made a life of the " Hottest Ass in the Freshman Class" and put  my name on the list, and let me tell you, its nothing to be proud of at all. Due to the rumors and the list, I became an outcast and many terrible incidents started to happen in my life. I'm clearly a normal girl with a weak and fragile mental state so i've been slowly thinking about committing suicide. But I didn't want to leave without letting people know why i did it, and how little they know about how one event led to another or how the rumor led to an unwanted snowball effect. I wanted the 13 poeople to realize how they have affected my life. And this is why i hoped to accomplish with these tapes. 

“You don’t know what goes on in anyone’s life but your own. And when you mess with one part of a person’s life, you’re not messing with just that part. Unfortunately, you can’t be that precise and selective. When you mess with one part of a person’s life, you’re messing with their entire life. Everything. . . affects everything.” - Page 16 

“You can't stop the future
You can't rewind the past
The only way to learn the secret
...is to press play.” - Page 18
