High school student Hannah Baker kills herself, and leaves seven tapes. Thirteen people acquire these tapes and are instructed to listen, and then pass on. Everyone on these tapes go to the same high school, and each one of them knows what the other twelve people did.

This book shows a teenage boy who has to make some very big decisions throughout the book. It also shows us how important it is to be aware of our actions, as even the littlest thing can impact someone greatly.

How much can one thing affect someone's life?

“Every single event documented here may never had happened had you, Alex, not written my name on that list.”

Hannah's Reasons. http://hannahsreasons.blogspot.ca/ This blog shows Hannah Bakers reasons as to why she killed herself. They are vague, even subtle, but are none the less right in front of us. It can be hard to analyse what is going on in someones life, which is why I chose this blog. You can never know how something is going to effect someone, whether it's your actions or your words.

Self reflection During this project I think my time management was well distributed as I spent reasonable amounts of time on each facet of the project. I think I perhaps could have written longer paragraphs on my reasonings. I think that my explanation behind my moodboard was a decent length and well constructed. Moreover, I made the moodboard myself which took creative thinking and process. I spent a reasonable amount of time doing research for this project and found examples of what I thought suited the subject matter. All of this is not to mention that I chose something that I have a great amount of interest in, which allowed me to work efficiently and passionately. Something I could have done differently was chosen a book I hadn't read before, as that would allow me to explore something for the first time and not be as well versed in the subject beforehand. Over the course of this project I learned that 73% of suicide attempt victims which are admitted to hospital are between...

Mood Board http://www.gomoodboard.com/boards/a-4qY395/share I've made this mood board to show parts of the book, from pictures online and from the TV series. From left to right, you start with Clay Jensen, Hannah's best friend. He was destroyed when he found out she took her own life. Number two is a box of tapes, the seven tapes that Clay and thirteen others will listen to. These tapes change each of their lives forever, as does Hannah's suicide. Number three, Hannah Baker herself, moments before she takes her life. In the bottom left, we see Clay, putting his headphones on, getting ready to listen to these tapes. Then you have the water, with the air bubbles. This symbolizes the feeling of helplessness that one may feel before they decide to end their life. The last one is a bunch of pills, Hannah's last decision. This doesn't explain much, but in my opinion, it makes the situation more life like. You can see how it impacts ones around you, how that feelin...
