Feeling Different Towards Someone

*Spoiler Alert*


In the book 13 Reason's Why, by Jay Asher Hannah Baker had committed suicide because she felt that the world was too heavy on her. Clay received audio tapes that Hannah made before committing suicide. When he had received the box, it said that you would appear the audio tapes and that you might have even caused her death. Blaming someone is harsh for why they died. On tape 5 side B, Clay finds out that he is on that tape. Though he realizes that it is for something that could have helped Hannah live, which is love.
Now a day's people say that love is the strongest power in the world and can stop everything that is evil, but does it really. In the book, Hannah's first love was one of the causes of her death, yet she didn't realize that love isn't liking someone because of their appearance, but for the way they connect. In the book at a certain point Hannah and Clay are at a party. Hannah realized that she truly liked someone for the first time and Clay too. Hannah pushed him away and Clay didn't do anything to stop it. I think that when we have the chance we should take the opportunity. Many of us take moments for granted, yet we should take advantage of it, in a good way, and not let it escape.
We end our lives for many different reasons, yet the gift of life is one of the most important. We shouldn't take it for granted. Another thing that we should never let go of is love. Love helps us bond together and survive. We all see that there is no point in ending our lives because we always regret it. It is okay to make mistakes that we can fix, but there are some that we never fix, and that is dying and losing someone you love.

Growing Up

     In the book Crank by Ellen Hopkins, a girl named Kristina Wagner gets addicted to meth and does some umiaginable things. Now she is pregnant and is about to give birth, yet she is still addicted to the drug and can't give it up. Kristina is undecided of what to do with a baby of her own at 17.We always say we would grow up someday, but when? When is it the right  time to grow up?
    
     I think that the best time to grow up is once you now how to start thinking logically on your own, yet still ask for help when you need to. Many people in our live grow up until we face the moment and sometimes we just leave it behind. Many people don't know what to do in that situation so they either hurt themselves or others. There are many things in life that start to set boundaries of where your childhood ends and where adulthood starts.For example in the book the time Kristina leaves her childhood is when she meets Adam in Alburquerque. When Kristina starts adulthood is when she is going to do it with Brendan. She knows she isn't supposed to do it yet she still does it.

     All in all I think that it depends on what you have been influenced by. Many people do things because of what they see in their surroundings.  Kristins started drugs because of her father and Adam. Also we need to take precautions in order to not cause terrible things, just like what happened to Kristina. We need to grow up at certain points.
