Why Did Hannah Commit Suicide

By the end of the novel Hannah began to doubt her self-identity because of the “snowball effect” which started with her having to move to a new town, and thus became socially vulnerable. This resulted in others creating a string of false gossip about her, which caused Hannah to shut people out on the assumption that

Suicide is an obvious issue in the book, because it is what the book is based on. Hannah committed suicide because of the things she went through, and at the end of the book clay ends up recognizing signs thanks to Hannah’s tapes and helps his old from Skye who he sees as pushing away from others and becoming distant. In the book Hannah says. Hannah cautions those she has mentioned on the tapes to not underestimate the power and influence their words and actions may have on the lives of others. They may think their actions are secluded and not a big deal, but as Hannah reveals, everything is connected and carries power and in return can cause someone to hurt themselves or even cause them to take their own

These are simple, short lines but, one can perceive the tone of resignation fueled by complete belief in her thoughts as the truth; thoughts that ultimately led to her self-destruction. There is this one funny thing about humans and the world. There are many truths- too many. And no one is capable of discerning whether they are lies or not. Each one has their own beliefs and nobody is given the advantage of having seen the “ultimate truth” because what we think our truths are, are truths merely because we believe them to be so. Hannah’s “truth” was her belief that she could not be saved and that suicide was her only way. So, we are only given the right to believe that what we think is

Hannah’s background as a Holocaust survivor is important for understanding the experience of the Holocaust. Her story provides unique insight on the Holocaust outside of concentration camps, dispels myths, and captivates the emotional aura of living during the Holocaust. Hannah’s story is one of resistance, danger, and the importance of family.

One of Hannah Senesh's greatest influences was aquired when she was arrested and tortured on march 14th, 1994. Hannah and some of her colleagues parachuted into Yugoslavia and joined a partisan group, after they landed they found out that the Germans had already occupied Hungary. The men that were with her decided that it was too dangerous to continue but Hannah continued on to the Hungarian border. At the border, she and the people that stayed with her were arrested by the German military. Hannah was taken to a prison and was brutally beaten for three days, then she was transfered to a prison in budapest where she was interrogated and beaten. Hannah stayed in a cell until she was executed by a German firing squad on November 7th, 1994. The

Page after page, Thirteen Reasons Why captivated me throughout the entirety of the story and left me weeping over the pain that Clay and Hannah experienced. Clay Jensen, a hardworking, overachieving high school boy, received a box of tape recordings from a girl who he’d never thought he’d hear from again—because she was dead. She committed suicide a week before and Clay was still in shock; feelings to which I could relate. Clay scavenged around town for clues about her life as he listened to the deranged voice of the girl he liked, Hannah Baker. He then learned her “reasons” for ending her life: people and actions—like the sexual harassments that multiple boys put her through or a death she felt she could have prevented—that left her broken and isolated.

Hey, it's Clay. Clay Jensen and this is my tape.( don't worry I'm still alive ), but I'm here to tell you about my opinion on Hanna's death more specifically how 11 others and I killed Hannah Baker.

There are seven tapes and each side of the tape is for a specific person who had a role in helping Hannah commit suicide. The first tape is addressed to Justin Foley who was Hannah’s first kiss. They had a sweet, innocent kiss, however, Justin decided to spread a rumor that much more happened, which lead Hannah to be called a “slut” for the rest of high school year.

Hannah's tapes weren't only about people and the problems they have caused her; one of the tapes is about seeking help. She really needed someone to help her out with the burden she carries every day she needed someone to give a reason to live, she needed someone there for her. She needed a friend the type of friend that would listen and tried to understand what she's been going through. Like Hannah wants help she doesn't want to end it just there she wants a reason to live so in the book she says “ I’m giving life one more chance. And this time, I’m getting help. I’m asking for help because I cannot do this alone. I’ve tried that.”(Asher 269). Therefore, Hannah is asking for help even though Clay was there for her but she pushed him away

At this point in the novel, Kit is at Hannah’s house with Prudence, peacefully sitting next to the fireplace and teaching Prudence how to write. Kit had come to Hannah’s house because she was coming to give Hannah a piece of cloth, and to explain what had happened to Nat because of his prank on William Ashby.

Hannah that that the sour herbs and the “things” in the milk were weird when she thought about it. She would say things such as, “It isn’t fair!” She also said “It’s got things floating in it,”. She highly disliked, and maybe even hated the weird and unfamiliar foods that she had to eat. In lieu of the fact she thought the foods unfamiliar, she stopped complaining and started getting used to it. As the book went on, it stopped bringing up the fact that Hannah didn’t like the foods. This shows that she might have gotten used to the traditional foods. Hannah has started to accept the fact that those foods are the foods that she will have to

Hannah felt like she had no one to turn to during her most vulnerable moments. Hannah encountered being known as the school slut after being lied on by a popular football player and several other students; including a lesbian student. She lost her two best friends. She made a new friend who betrayed her by leaking her most intimate poem in the school newspaper; further confirming her peers’ thoughts that she was a slut. To add insult to injury Hannah was raped by a popular football player, and no one believed her. Which ultimately led to Hannah becoming depressed, and she describes herself as a broken soul. Hannah realizes she needs to attempt to get real help, at least once. Hannah goes to the school guidance counselor and confides in the counselor that she has been raped. The counselor tells Hannah if she does not give up her rapist name, she needs to just “move on”. Hannah immediately left his office and went home and killed

For Thirteen Reasons Why, I am going to explain the literary terms. Thirteen Reason is about a girl named, Hannah Baker who killed herself. Before Hannah killed herself she made 13 videos of why this person made her make that decision.
