Thirteen+Reasons+Why+meeting+1

discussion questions - Which character did you relate to most? We all agreed that we related to Clay the most because he is being blamed for something and he has no idea why and we have all gone through that feeling. - What happened when Hannah went in the candy store? A kid named Alex came in and grabbed her wrist try to stop her from leaving after he grabbed her butt because she was voted nicest butt. - Whose Tyler and what did he do? He was a peeping tom and he hid in the bushes and took pictures of her. - Name the place that Clay went on the map. He went to Monet's cafe, the candy store, and Hannah's old house. He spent most of his time in the cafe listening to the tapes. - How did Kat change Hannah's life? She was her first friend and she introduced Hannah to Justin who became her first boyfriend.

Clay comes home one day and finds a package on his door step. He opens them and finds cassette tapes. He finds a stereo in his garage and plays them. The voice on them surprises him. The voice is of a girl, Hannah Baker, who had committed suicide a couple weeks earlier. She says that there are 13 reasons why she killed herself and the people who receive the tapes are some of those reasons. The first third of the book is about Clay listening to some of the tapes waiting to see why he is connected to her suicide. He goes to the places she says too. He is desperately waiting to find out why he is connected.

Throughout the first reading discussion we talked about the characters and setting throughout the book. Not all of the characters were mentioned yet because we did not get through the whole book so we still have more to discover in the other chapters. We discussed some of the reasons Hannah committed suicide.
