what they would say. In the second part of the tape, she finally decides that suicide is the
only answer for everything. She thinks about how to commit suicide, giving ideas like
shooting herself, taking pills, and hanging herself. She decides to take pills tomorrow
and walks to the post office. She is about to send the tapes to Justin Foley. Then she
thinks about what has happened last weekend. She is at the new party even though she
is grounded. She meets Bryce and goes to hot tub. They start to get relaxed and touch
each other. Even though Bryce tries to do inappropriate things to Hannah, Hannah does
not even reject him. She let him do whatever he wanted to do to her. When Bryce
finished his thing, Hannah claims that she was finished that night, too. After losing her
virginity to such meaningless boy, Hannah is done with everything.
Cassette 7
In this cassette tape, Hannah gives herself one more chance by seeking for help. She
decides to talk to Mr. Porter. She puts the tape recorder into her bag and enters Mr.
Porter’s room. Hannah hinted to Mr. Porter about her plans to commit suicide.
However, he gives Hannah two solutions: talking to Bryce face to face or move on. After
hearing Mr. Porter’s solution, Hannah hurries and goes out of the room. She thinks she
is done here with that answer. Even after Hannah closes the door, Mr. Porter does not
bother to follow up properly. His poor advice is the last straw for Hannah. She finishes
the cassette 7 side A with “I’m sorry.” Then on side B, she only says, “Thank you.”
