13RW Discussed.

Hannah Baker
We agreed that Hannah was a bit selfish in sending the tapes. It was almost as though she wanted a bit of revenge. She tended to over-analyze things and everything that happened was magnified in her eyes. That led to the conclusion that she was probably already depressed and had a low self-esteem.
Whenever someone tried to reach out to her, she pushed them away. She didn't allow anything good into her mind, all she remembered was the bad.
Someone brought up the fact that she never talked to any of her friends about what was happening. She didn't have anyone she could trust and always had her guard up.
Someone also realized that Hannah sort of walked into the last reason, like she was looking for another reason to kill herself.
Characters
Clay actually asked most of the questions we were thinking while reading the book.
Justin was probably looking to build up his own reputation, and probably didn't realize what he did to Hannah, as said by someone in the group.
Jessica and Hannah were friends in the beginning. We all agreed that Jessica should have trusted Hannah more than the rumors. Rumors aren't always true.
We all thought that Courtney managed her reputation and image in everything she did. Some of us thought Hannah sort of tested her friendship with Courtney by waiting for her to say good-bye, while she herself didn't say good-bye. And, Hannah was able to have full control, when the picture was taken at the party.
Some of us thought that Marcus was dealing with his grief with anger.
Tony was considered like a big brother character, who took care of Clay, when he was listening to the tapes.
When the publisher of the Lost and Found printed Hannah's poem, we all considered that the ultimate betrayal.
No one in her peer communications class tried to help her.
Everyone agreed that Mr Porter could have done something more to help Hannah, and played a big role in Hannah deciding to kill herself.
Symbolism
One of us pointed out that there might be a deeper meaning to the feet. Hannah had big feet, because she wanted to be on the ground.
The word 'sorry was also important. As one of us said it was as if the whole book was sorry.
Hannah described the things that happened to her as a 'snowball effect'. It all just started from one thing and then piled up.
When Clay reached out to Skye in the end of the book, it showed that he was going to be okay. Someone mentioned that it was a hopeful message, showing that Clay was going to be okay.
Reactions
Throughout the story most of us wanted to reach out to Hannah, and we wanted to remind her that it's not all bad.
In some of the situations, a couple of us could relate to her.
Some of us are now watching what we say and the impact we have on other people.
Comparison to Speak
We realized, that in both books the parents didn't know what was going on in their daughter's life.
The Cover and Theories
Everyone agreed that the cover drew them in.
Most of us are waiting for a sequel, where the 13 people get together.
