13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher part 2

Claims

Justin Foley and Alex Standall are both rude, they both did something to Hannah that had a big impact on her.

Hannah Baker relates to the real world because like some people Hannah feels misunderstood and out of place.

Justin Foley and Alex Standall both relate because without realizing it what they did got the ball rolling. It was just the beginning to the end.

Clay Jensen might have been able to stop Hannah from committing suicide if he expressed his feeling toward Hannah.

     Archetypes 

Alex Standall- mean one

Alex created a hot or not list, and intentionally put Jessica and Hannah on it. However they were not on the same side.

“... Jessica Davis looked pissed . Why? Because right next to my name, but on the other column, was hers.” pg. 39-40

Alex knew this would upset Jessica and Hannah, because they use to be friends. 

Justin Foley- obnoxious one

Justin is quite obnoxious, and he knows it. 

“A cupped hand smacked my ass. Then he said it “ Best Ass...” The sarcasm. The arrogance.” pg 47-48

Hannah Baker- tragedy

The whole story is based around Hannah and how she went through a lot and ended up committing suicide. She isn’t a tragic hero because she wasn’t particularly a hero. Hannah is the overall tragedy, she told her story through the tapes and all were sad. 

     Symbols

A symbol in the book is the tapes. The tapes represent how Hannah really feels. When Hannah was alive she didn’t particularly express herself, and when she made the tapes she let her emotions out. How Hannah truly felt about her life, and how everything effected her in such a negative way to the point of suicide.
