Hello guys,
it's my first blog about the novel "Thirteen Reasons Why".
The following article deals with the 1 cassette: Side B.
This part is about a "hot or not" list, later it's a bad ending for Hannah.
Clay starts the cassette and Hannah starts talking about Alex Standell.
Hannah saw a list, which called "FRESHMAN CLASS- WHO'S HOT/ WHO'S NOT" on a student's desk. She saw that Alex voted her as "Best Butt in the Freshman Class".
Jessica Davis was very mad because Hannah was in the "hot" side and she was in the "not" side.
Everyone knew Alex's list was a joke, but it lead to Hannah her butt grabbed at a local store.
After the boy from her school grabbed her butt and Alex' list went around the school, all people think bad about Hannah. This was such a bad situation for Hannah, that she added that point to one of thirteen reasons, why she killed herself.
I can understand her anger, because it's must be just horrible, to get grabbed from a random person in the public. It's a really embarassing moment for her. I don't understand why she is angry with Alex, I would be angry with the boy, who grabbed my ass. The list is no excuse to grab her butt. I would say the boy my opinion and then I would forgot the situation.
You have done your task well. But the first eight lines are like a summerary. Maybe you could use one or two sentences for the introduction and than it is fine. But it is a good text :)
AntwortenLöschenI see it like you . I'm a girl too and I find it quite rightly that she ist so embarrassed about it. I can understand that you would forget the situation, after you told him your opinion. But at the present time you just know that so one thing is kept someone for a long time.
AntwortenLöschenYou've worked really well:)
Dear Henry,
AntwortenLöschenthank you for your first blog entry in which you decribe your point of view with regards to the second reason Hannah names. It is interesing to know that you understand Hannah's reason and that you too would not have liked it to be either on that hot/not list nor to meet that guy in the supermarket.
Language: You have to be careful with the tenses and prepositions, e.g. stick to the past tense and "on" the side...
You worked on the text very well, but you summarize the text a bit too much. Next time form a short sentence about the plot. Nevertheless it's interesting to see the situation in your opinion. Good job!
