13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher has many hidden aspects. In the book Hannah Baker, who tragically committed suicide, made tapes with 13 reasons why she killed herself. She filled a box of tapes and sent them to people to pass on, there was an overall of 13 people, these were the people that took a part in her death. During the tapes you really get to know Hannah and who she was as a person. She had her obvious characteristics and characteristics that you have to look around for while reading. I noticed that she takes a huge notice in small details and makes them bigger. There were many parts of the book where I noticed this. Examples of this were when she expanded so greatly on the guy who slapped her butt, and she went so closely into each detail of the Courtney picture. These are examples that show Hannah taking huge notice in the small details.
One example of Hannah taking notice in the smaller derails is when she expands so greatly on the guy in the candy shop slapping her butt. When I was reading this my automatic thought was "That that would be so annoying. Why is he being so immature?" And I imagined he would just be a small part to a bigger thing. But he wasn't. Although the bigger story she was telling was about a list in best and worst butt where she was voted best, he wasn't a small detail. She spent a number of times going back to that moment and even marked the location on her map. It didn't seem all that important but as Hannah, she dug deeper and hooked that, smaller details, as well as big stories together and made them one huge reason for suicide. This is one example of how Hannah pays attention to small details in big ways.
Another example of Hannah paying attention to the smaller details is when she was explaining the picture of her and Courtney. The situation was not the nicest, she was being used for a reputation. But the picture was not actually a big part in context. With the thought she put into it you would think it was huge big event but actually, it was a small detail, the end of a story. She made it seem like the biggest part and expanded so much so that it seemed like a big contribution to her death, but really it was just a small addition to the chain. This is a second example of how Hannah looks closely to details and makes them bigger.
In conclusion Hannah Baker from 13 Reasons Why payed close attention to small details and expanded to make them bigger. There are many parts in the book where you see this. The guy in the candy store slapping her butt and the picture with Courtney were some examples. All in all, Hannah likes to expand on small parts of a big story.
