The main characters in my story are Hannah Baker and Clay Jensen. Hannah has blond cropped off hair. "//So after my haircut, I waited a week//." (Pg 164)They're is also Justin Foley, Alex Standall, Jessica Davis, Mr. Porter, Tyler Down, and Courtney Crimsen. Courtney was a beautiful girl. "//Courtney Crimsen. What a pretty name.

 * __Who is your story about?__**

__**Where and when does it take place?**__ This story takes place in the places that Hannah tells Clay to go to in the map and the tapes. "//I almost forgot. If you're on my list, you should've received a map.//" (Pg. 11) (When the letters are in //italics// then Hannah is talking in the tapes). On the map, she'll tell you the coordinates and you have to find the red star she's talking about. For example, on the map on B-1 is where Hannah slid into her first kiss, Literally. It also takes play at the school that everyone goes to. Mr. Porter works at Hannah and Clay's school.

__**What is the major conflict (problem) in this Story?**__ The major problem in this story is that Clay doesn't realize how much he cared about Hannah until he heard her tapes and life story. Hannah had a horrible life, to seeing crimes committed before her eyes to hearing people make fun of her. Hannah also took on poetry and one person, Ryan, from the lost an found article stole one of her poem and published it without he permission. it was called "Soul Alone." People made fun of her for it even though they didn't know she wrote it. "//Some even wrote parodies of my poem, reading them to me in the hopes of getting under my skin." (//Pg. 191) __**Why would you recommend this story? Who would you recommend this book for? What genre (what type of fiction not just fiction)?**__ I would recommend this story to people who are going through a rough time and want help to realize that your life is okay. I would also say around 7th graders through high school grades. This book is realistic fiction.
