Cassette 3B

Hello everyone!


In this blog entry I am going to write about Hannah's motivation for her suicide.

Hannah often talks about the snowball effect. This keeps the problems and reasons for suicide rolling, because one reason is based on another and so on...

The biggest problem of this snowball effect is that everyone just have a "little" joint guilt which leads to Hannah's disaster. Nobody knows instantly his or her mistake relating to Hannah and nobody is feeling very guilty about his or her fault, because there are a hundred of other reasons for Hannah's suicide. Probably this is why most of the people on the tapes are surprised to be one of the thirteen reasons or they think that they don't belong on the tapes like Marcus Cooley.

Maybe Hannah wanted to set a "statement", a message to everyone in her social environment. But is this message worth to put one's life on the line? I think no. I can understand Hannah and her reasons. She goes through a really hard time. But there are so many things in life for what it is worth to fight for. For example Hannah's family or her future. Maybe she could have found her dreamjob or met the love of her life or gotten to know real friends or built an own family. This are all arguments with a big " maybe", but they are not impossible.

But Hannah was not egotistic and she thought about the necessary change in the actions of the society. I think Hannah sacrificed herself, because she wanted to reach a changing in the crowd. The people need this shocking act, because otherwise they don't get it. It was very clever to send this self - made tapes to some persons. The advantage is that the affected people realize and understand what they have done.
In my opinion it is a shame that the crowd needs Hannah's death for this. Clay begins to understand Hannah and the pretense of the society.

I think Hannah deserves much respect because of her intelligence and her courage.


I hope you to understand what I mean. Please tell me if you are sharing my opinion or if you are seeing it differently :)

Stalking / Cassette 2B

Hello everyone!

Today I am writing about Tyler's behaviour and stalking in our lifes.

I can absolutely understand Hannah's fourth reason to commit suicide. It must be a really awful situation and I can not imagine having a stalker.
The people on the cassettes destroyed many things in Hannah's life. The only thing which stayed at her was her privacy. But now Tyler also take this from her...

I think Tyler's behaviour is a very extreme type of stalking, but in my opinion stalking becomes important in our lifes too. We are controlled by many people. The best example is Whats app, because everyone is able to see if you were online and so on...

I know that this is not comparable with Tyler's stalking, but it is a reduced way of stalking too. So it is important to care about our privacy and it is necessary to let the others be !! Everyone deserves privacy, safety and freedoms.
As a result, I expect Tyler learning his lesson and I hope he will never do something like this. I wish the world to respect the privacy of other people.

I hope you enjoyed reading this blog entry. Feel free leaving me a comment ! :-)

A list with consequences / Cassette 1B

Hello everyone!

In this blogpost, I am going to write about the happening between Alex Standall and Hannah Baker. Hannah explained it to the reader on cassette 1B.

Firstly, I want  to criticize that Alex created this list. He just wanted to show up another person, so he had the stupid idea of constructing a list with the title "Who is hot/Who not". The person, named Jessica, who was shown up by him, was placed on the "not hot" side. So Alex had to chose another person for the other side. The question is: Why did he choose Hannah? Maybe he thought that he had done Hannah a favor, but he was wrong. The list became a horror for her and one of the reasons for killing herself.

I can absolutely understand Hannah's feelings, because who likes it to be reduced on one's ass? 
But in Hannah's life it was the truth. Everyone paid attention to Hannah's ass, but nobody knew her real personality. I strongly detest this superficiality. So it is not only Alex' fault, the other pupils behaved in a badly way, too. But Alex was the activator of this superficially image of Hannah.

In conclusion, I want mentioning that everyone had to behave responsible. So it is always better to think about the consequences before acting. In addition, it is never good to be superficial...

Please tell me if you agree with me or not :-)
