Analysis

In Thirteen Reasons Why, the majority of the book is very straight forward. Asher does force you into inferring. How does he do this? Simple! He knows we are curious and puts off the plot! It's so simple yet so engaging. (Clay in normal, Hannah in italics) "You'll do that, right? All of you? You'll fill in the gaps? Because every story I'm telling leaves so many unanswered questions. Unanswered? I would have answered any question, Hannah but you never asked," (Asher 78). You can see how Asher uses Hannah's voice right here to do so. She wants you to guess and put your imagination to fill the holes, yet that's what drives her to her death.
