Free Choice

Let’s see here, one really big question I have about the texts is, why Hannah would give the second copies of the tapes to Tony of all people. I mean, I know Tony is not on the tapes but he and Hannah really were not friends either. They only knew of each other because of school and that does not mean much. But Tony probably would have never gotten the tapes if he had not given Hannah the hand held tape recorder. I guess Tony was just a lucky one. That was a really nice guy and did not spread rumors or was not mean to anyone. We will never really know why Hannah Baker decided to give Tony of all people the second set of tapes. One thing that really does make me happy that Tony got the tapes. Is when he got them he did not freak out and take them to school the next day to let other people listen to them. All he did was listen to the tapes himself and then followed Hannah’s words of making sure everyone on the tapes listened to them and then pass them on to the next person on the list. I guess three really good things did come out of this, and they were that we found out what made Hannah kill herself, everyone in her life got to see how much they really affected her choice to kill herself, and that Tony and Clay are really good people that should not feel bad at all about Hannah’s death.

  2. I kind of feel bad for Tony. It would suck if you had to listen to the tapes and you were not on the list.

  3. Yeah, I wondered about Tony, too. He must have made an impression on Hannah. That's a big load to bear.
