Just curious!. :]

Ohhh, and NAMING the story would be nice! ^_^Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Go Ask Alice!.

Romeo and Juliet!.

Anna Karenina!.

The Bell Jar!.

And this one, it's not the narrator, but the entire story is focused around the person who kills herself -- Thirteen Reasons Why!. You'll understand when you read it!. The narrator isn't actually the main character, in my opinion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hollywoodland by George and David Wallace!. It's about the real life character of the first actor to play superman in the late fifties!. The story is a mystery and they investigate throughout the whole book and you don't know whether he got murdered or committed suicide until the very end!. The movie is better than the book!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, she isn't exactly the MAIN character, but it is about her life!. The book is called 'Th1rteen R3asons Why'!.

Synopsis:

"Nice guy" Clay Jenson comes home one afternoon to find a shoebox sized box on his doorstep!. When he goes in side and opens it, he finds a set of seven cassette tapes, numbered 1 -13!. When he plays them back again, he gets the shocker of a lifetime!. Filtering through the speakers is the voice of his distant crush of two years, Hannah Baker!. Catch is, she committed suicide two weeks previous to the books beginning!. She basically says, "There are thirteen reasons why i committed suicide, and if you're listening to these tapes, you're one of them!."!. What could Clay have possibly done to her to cause her to believe that death was her only option!.!.!.and who else made her life hell!?

It's a great book!. So realistic and so sad!.

?Graceful Little Alice?Www@QuestionHome@Com

It is strange that no-one named the book that caused the most teen suicides in this world:

The Sorrows of Young Werther by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe!. It

It was my favourite book when I was like 14-15!. I still think it is one of the best books ever written!.

And Anna Karenina of course, amazing story!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Bible!. Jesus knew he was going to be killed if he went into Jerusalem!. He even told his friends!. But he had already made up his mind to kill himself so he rode on into town on a donkey, was a smart **** to the Jewish & Roman authorities and then he got nailed to a tree EXACTLY what he wanted to happen!. Its the most famous suicide of all time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm not sure there are any where they actually commit suicide, because then they would be dead!.
