Thirteen Reasons Why

“You don’t know what goes on in anyone’s life but your own. And when you mess with one part of a person’s life, you’re not messing with just that part. Unfortunately, you can’t be that precise and selective. When you mess with one part of a person’s life, you’re messing with their entire life.” (Asher 108). After reading this passage immediately I interpreted this as the message or lesson of the novel. This is true because Hannah experienced this first hand. Everyone in this book had no idea that the things they did impacted Hannah so deeply. Every little things that someone did, no matter how harmless it may seem, can stick with someone and eat away at them. If the impact of our choices were immediate, we would think twice before we act. For instance, we would not think of placing our hand in the fire because of the burn and pain. But many of our choices do not have an immediate or obvious impact.
