=Thirteen Reasons Why= Week 1
 * Derek Blankenbush**
 * Summary**- We talked about what was happening in the book and what we thought about it. We think its good so far and far and most of us like it. We discussed how it was bad that Hannah swallowed a bunch of pills and killed herself, and how she made these depressing suicide tapes that she is going to make every one on her list listen to them and pass them on. Also how she is black mailing them and forcing them to listen to the tapes. We also talked about what led up to her suicide and who was going to be on the thirteenth tape. She that person can take them straight hell and depending on said persons religion, she will see them there. Also about were clay fit in with the suicide tapes. Is he on the thirteenth tape? Why is he even involved? He seems like a nice kid. In the end we discussed what we think might happen at the end of the book.

 * Leader-Brandon**

In the book //Thirteen Reasons Why// is a very suspenseful book that keeps the reader constantly focusing on the next chapter. There’s a lot to talk about in this book, which is more of a conversational book. I wouldn’t recommend this book anyone under 14 years of age. This book uses strong: language and drug and alcohol abuse. //Thirteen Reasons Why// was meant for freshmen in high school to read. It would be a bad idea anyone below freshmen to read this book.

This book has grabbed the attention of the entire group. We all love the book and can’t wait to read more. Everyone is wondering who is next on the tapes and is wondering where the second copy of tapes is. The group is waiting on the edge of their seats to know why Clay was given the tapes. Questions were raised, for example, “Did clay insult her? ”, “What history could Clay and Hanna have together? ”, and “Should Clay really be on the tapes?” The end of the book will answer all of these questions. This book is secretive and exciting. We would suggest that everyone reads it.

Week 3: **Group Leader- Matthew Saidel**

The emotion of this book is upsetting and very depressing. It is sort of an eerie book. An example that backs up my claim is when Hannah on the tape recordings says that she was thinking about eneding everything. Hannah meant that she was thinking about killing herself.


 * Brandon - Quotations**


 * 1) “I’m ahead of schedule,” he says. “We’ll be sitting here a couple minutes.” (pg. 98)
 * 2) “Was it a rock? Did someone throw a rock at Tyler’s window?” (pg. 107)
 * 3) “So, what you just gave him a rock to throw at his window?” (pg. 109)
 * 4) “No it was his idea. I didn’t even know the tapes existed yet.”
 * 5) “Nothing. It’s ridiculous,” he says. “I don’t belong on those tapes. Hannah just wanted an excuse to kill herself.” (pg. 110

Quotations- Derek Blankenbush "i stare at the picture in the scribble book" "i sip my coffee which is getting cold" "so there we were, sitting in booth with our backs to the rest of the dinner, laughing" "Very nice, Ryan. Thank you. You're a true poet" "But you can't get away from yourself"


 * week 4**

We talked about how Clay became obsessed with listening to the tapes. Also we had a conversation on when Clay is going to come up with the tapes. Next we talked about how Clay goes to every place that Hannah went to. We talked about how Clays mom did not care that he was out by himself for the whole night. Our group had great conversations about the book. Another thing we talked about was the kid who kept on taking photographs of Hannah. We talked about how perverted he was and about how he put the picture of Hannah and Courtney Crimsen in the yearbook. Lastly we talked about how Hannah was starting to get so upset with things that she started to think about taking her life.
 * Matthew Saidel Summarizer**


 * Brandon - Quotations**

"Step-by-step thats how we'll get through this." "We've already finished one tape both sides so stick with me, things get better or worse depending on your point of view." "I know it may sound like it but, i wasn't completely alone in the beginning of my freshman year. Two other freshmen were also new to the area." "Which is very unfortunate it turns out but, that is for a later tape." "Mr. Porter does he have something to do with this?"

Some themes in the book are depression and teen suicide. And the images are all of the places she puts on her map and the importance of them. Also the cassette tapes they are an image to.

Rachel Squiccimarri Group Leader

Overall my group and I thought this book was very good and it kept our attention throughout it. Yes I would recommend it to my peers because they will not be bored throughout the book. No, not really other books I’ve read have this topic have been discussed. For people in high school this book should be recommended.
