Title Significance

The title of the book I am reading is called, “Thirteen Reasons Why,” by Jay Asher. I am not real far into the book yet so I do not know the complete significance of the title. I do believe that the author chose this title for the book to help explain the tapes in the book and maybe some other things that I have not read about yet. So far, I have found out that a girl, Hannah Baker, has killed herself. Before she killed herself, she made seven tapes with 13 sides of herself talking. Each side of the seven tapes she tells in detail of why she wanted to kill herself. That is where I believe the title of the book came from; “Thirteen Reasons Why”, Hannah Baker killed herself. Then, I also think that maybe there are 13 people that influenced her to kill herself but I do not think that the people realized what they were doing at the time. After Hannah died the tapes she made went out to a list of people one at a time. Maybe there were also 13 people on the list. Hannah also made a map that went along with the tapes, so the people could visit the places she talked about in the tapes. Since I have not read much maybe there are also 13 places on the map to visit as well. I think that the title of the book “Thirteen Reasons Why,” has some kind of connection to everything talked about in the book.
