Book Soundtrack


Mary J Blidge No More Drama
I feel that this song went well with the theme of the book because there were plenty of times in the book where people could have changed the way Hannah felt but instead they just caused her more drama.

Protagonist Clay
Enrique Iglesias Hero
I really chose this song for my protagonist because of most of the lyrics that are in the song. Because of how Clay just wanted to be there for her and how he really wanted to just help her because he didn't want her to commit suicide.

Chris Brown Don't Judge Me 
I picked this song for Hannah because there are times in the book where people say things about her or end up doing something to her, because of what they heard about her from other people. Then people end up on the tapes. 

Mary J Blidge Fade Away
I picked this song because it fit the climax of the story. It's when clay hears his story and finds out who has the other set of tapes. And it really just seemed like he wanted to fade away for leaving Hannah.

Overall Song
Soundtrack Drama Vol 1
I felt this instrumental went well with this song because it kind of starts calm like in the book and then it gets like more interesting.

substitue day

There aren't really things I could say about this class. Why? Because math really doesn't bother me. Like i used to be in Pre-Cal so dealing with it is nothing but understanding probabilities are just crazy. That's really the only thing i really could say that i dislike is the probabilities. We do talk about sports which do interest me and how we can relate math to sports is cool. Like yesterday how we played plinco that was actually really cool and easy to get. I'm not saying that everything should be easy because it shouldn't be, but i am saying i don't have any complaints or problems with this class at all. This class is different than other math classes Ive had before but its not like a huge difference. We did probability in other classes but math in this class is just probabilities so it's not so bad.

Nigerian gunmen 'kill Mubi students'

"The lecturer, who did not want his name to be used, told the BBC's Hausa service that men in military uniform asked the students to line up and then say their names.
Some were then shot dead and others stabbed with knives, and their bodies left in lines outside the buildings.
The lecturer says it is not clear why some were killed and others spared - some of those killed were Muslims and others Christian."

Why would you ask high school students (well it seems these students might be in high school) but anyways why would you want to kill students who haven't even finished growing yet. That's like me going to kill some 8th or 9th graders just because they live down the street from me. Even if its to make some kind of example you know like you see in movies. For example like in the newest batman movie why Fo to the movie theater just to kill people who hasn't done anything wrong. I don't understand what the world is coming to. No it's not that I don't know what it's coming to I just can't believe it's happening..

10 Smartphone Habits You Should Avoid
By Brenna Ehrlich and Andrea Bartz

 "This is the illusion which might cheat us of being in touch deeply with the one breathing next to us."  
 By Anais Nin 

Do you really think people can tell you everything and you learn new things about people, I agree with this quote but in others ways I disagree too. Yes phones have taken a lot of things from us especially meeting people face to face. Now we just communicate through people by text and in a lot of ways thats not a good way to communicate. Maybe it's okay between friends but I don't text my girlfriend much I mean sure when I'm in school but when I get out I call so we can talk or I oovoo her. In 13 Reasons Why nobody really texted and people communicated by going to their friends house. Back in the day my grandfather he used to run from his house all the way to see the love of his life (which obviously is my grandmother) but he basically ran from one side of Waynesboro to the other. Our communication skills could be going down the drain because all people do is text, most people don't spend much time actually talking.....
