1. I have just finished this book, and I never thought that it would end this way. In the beginning of the book, I though that the reason that Hannah commit suicide was part of Clay's fault, but I thought it was something like that they didn't go out. As I finished the book, I found out that it wasn't really Clay's fault that Hannah commit suicide. It all started at Courtney Crimson's party that she threw, and a lot of people went to it. At the party, Clay is the only one that friendly to Hannah, because of a lot of other things that happened with other people. Hannah decided that she wanted to leave the party, because she didn't like it, and the only reason she could leave was with a drunk cheerleader named Jessica who drives her home. She is barely drunk, but she hits a stop sign and doesn't call the cops. Later that night, because the stop sign is knocked down, there is a car accident that kills someone. Hannah feels very guilty. The next day, Hannah goes to the school counselor/English teacher. She says she doesn't see the point in living anymore, and he tells her that they can talk about it more. She refuses and asks if there is another option. The counselor basically says yes, you can just suck it up. Hannah refuses to that statement, and that is why she commit suicide.

2. In this book right now, I feel very surprised. I didn't think that the book would end this way at all. I was surprised how Clay didn't really have anything to do with the suicide, because he was the main character. Overall, I enjoyed that book a lot.

3. A theme I have noticed in the book is friendship. The reason that Hannah commit suicide was because of he pressure that her friends or schoolmates put on her with everything that they have done. If they haven't of done those things, than she wouldn't of felt guilty, and died. Her friends were mainly the reasons that she commit suicide.

4. My favorite character is Clay Jensen. He is my favorite character, because he doesn't do anything bad towards Hannah, and he is the only one at Courtney's party who doesn't get drunk. Clay is aware of himself, and he doesn't do unreasonable things that could cause to injuries.

5. My least favorite character is Hannah. She is my least favorite character, because she commit suicide I think for no reason. She got really mad, and couldn't take her life anymore, which is why she died. I think that she could just settle it with a parent or someone, and then she wouldn't have died. I think that her suicide that she commit was for no reason.

6. I just finished the book, and it wasn't like I predicted at all. I thought that the book was going to end in a different way, but instead it went a whole other direction. I enjoyed reading this book, and it was very interesting to read.
