13 reasons why

The title of 13 reasons why is self explanatory to the book itself if you already know what the book is about. If you don’t know what it means you will soon find out when you read the book. But in my opinion if I was an author I don’t want people to already know what my title of the book means until they are done with the book. it gives you something to wonder and think about. The reason why the author chose to call these book thirteen reasons why is because the tapes she made. If I’m not mistaken she made 13 tapes telling why she committed suicide. Although it is a perfect title for the book I wouldn’t change it. i just wouldn’t let you know how the title is symbolic to the story until you read the entire story. But it would be like trying to find the main idea to the story people would have different opinions on how it is symbolic to the story making them think. I SWEAR I SHOULD WRITE A BOOK. My book would be promoted by Barack Obama it would be so good. Both the books I’ve read hate list and thirteen reasons why title just tells you the story. As a reader I don’t want to know what the story is about. Of course i want an idea of what it is but not the story in two or three words. If i was the author of thirteen reasons why i would call this book the story of a highschool teenager or somewhere around there. it doesn’t tell you the story you have to read to figure out what the book is about. The title gives the book a whole variety of topics. Like sexual harassment, bullying, or suicide. Thirteen reasons do that but it already tells you that it is thirteen reasons why this girl killed herself by the title. i mean but what do i know I’m not a new York times best seller let alone write books because I hate to read and write.

  1. Good analysis here, Jeraud. You HAVE to read the book and have it done by the first week in December...
