• What special way did the author write (for example, flashbacks, told in first
person, multiple voice narrative, foreshadowing, lost descriptive words that
create visual images in your mind, etc.)? Did that make reading it better or
worse? Explain.
* How does the way the characters act affect the theme of the story? Explain.
One of the main writing styles in the book Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher is that when ever the main character, Hannah Baker is talking she italicizes her words. She does this because the book is about the main character, Hannah suiciding and leaving 13 tapes, one side for each person that "causes" her death because of this she italicizes her writing to show that it's her talking or the tapes talking. An example for this is in the book on page 166 it said, "So Zach, How many notes did you take?". The author does this every time Hannah is talking (which is almost the entire portion of the book).
Another main writing styles in the book Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher is that when Clay, the other main character is talking, its in a regular font, which makes it easier to read the book. For example, in the book on page 166 it said, "I glance over my shoulder. Tony's still there, chewing a french fry and pumping ketchup on a hamburger." You can tell the difference between italics and regular font, which in my opinion makes it easier to tell whos talking. I think that the author specifically made it like that to try and help readers understand how to read it without getting confused, so they can understand the actual main topic (which is about the 13 people/reasons why Hannah suicide).
The entire story revolves around how all these "sub characters" act towards the main character. As to why she committed suicide. These people that have been put in the tapes have all done something to her, maybe not knowing it, that pushed her ever so closer into ending her life. One of the main characters, is the one that currently has the 13 tapes, (each person has to hear all of the tapes before sending it off to the next person.) Which is how these characters affected the theme of the story, by doing all these little acts that made the theme of this story what it was. Which was that little things can affect a person in ways you don't know, so always try to be kind.
