Guided Response Clay Jensen
So far I have come to this conclusion that Clay is genuinely a kind and loving person. Or just simply curious which is why he is following her map and tapes. I would be a little bit weirded out if I received a box full of tapes regarding the death of someone I cared about. I think Clay is in a very emotional state and just wants to find out what made Hannah Baker choose suicide over life. I would also want to know if I was in his particular situation as well. As I was reading all of the places she had gone and people she had seen Clay is expierencing for the first time. I can't say that if I was given a box of tapes from someone who I thought I cared about or even so much as wanted to date that I wouldn't listen and then eventually I would want to follow and go to those places because it's the last place the person I cared about went. Or even if they loved that particular spot then I would feel like their presence is almost there, like I was getting to see them for the last time. I really do have compassion for Clay because I haven't met too many people who would just drop whatever it is that their doing and go on a hunt to all the places that influeneced her decision. I am already finished with the book and I am very pleased with the life lesson Clay learned from all of this.

ReplyDeleteI agree with you about Clay, i havent finished it yet but i will soon because im getting more curious to see what he did that put him on the tapes because he seems so sincere!
ReplyDeleteI have finished the book already too, and i do think clay learned a lesson about all this that is happening and i think he also learned something new about himself.
ReplyDeleteWell said. I agree with all of this.
ReplyDeleteI agree he seems really whole hearted, and down to earth. I think he is by favorate character.
ReplyDeleteI was very relieved after I read past the part where we learn about Clay's involvement. And you're right. I think he learned a lesson about silence.
