Point of View: 13 Reasons Why

The book 13 Reasons Why could have been written in the point of view of every person that Hannah gave the tapes to because every person was a reason why she committed suicide. The story is told in Clay Jenson's point of view. He is ninth person on Hannah Baker's list. Clay is the one that wasn't suppose to be on the list but he needed to be because he meant something to Hannah in a good way. He was someone who didn't put her down or made up rumors about her but actually connected with her. I think Clay being the narrator was a good choice because he wasn't a jerk to Hannah like everybody else therefor being somewhat there for her and acting nice. But in the end it wasn't enough and that's what makes the book even more sad.
I think another good choice for narrator could have been Zach Dempsy number seven on Hannah's list. Zach was the person that came over to assist Hannah after a boy she was on a date with tried to sexually touch her maybe because he thought it was okay due to all of the rumors. Hannah doesn't give him the attention that he wants and he is embarrassed in front of his friends. Later he steals all of Hannah's 'compliment cards' from her bag in her Peer Communication class. During that time in Hannah's life those compliments were the only thing that made Hannah feel positive but Zach decided she didn't deserve them. If Zach's point of view were told he might say why he thought that she didn't deserve them and what made him so mad at Hannah when all she was feeling was hurt. I would like to see Zach actually feeling bad for her because when he listens to the tapes he'll know just how much pain he inflicted on her. Also why he thought that Hannah should have been all over him after something terrible just happened to her.
 Zach is the person that I wonder most of why he did the things he did. Everyone did something bad to her but he was one of the people that intentionally meant to hurt when she was already falling apart. His actions was one of the ones that had the most impact on Hannah and even when she tried to confront him he just ran away from her leaving Hannah in tears.
