Character Analysis: Thirteen Reasons Why

If I could meet any character from one of the books we read this year, I would choose to meet Skye Miller from Thirteen Reasons Why. There are many unanswered questions about Skye, and we don’t know a lot about her. We know she’s an outcast and likes to avoid people. We know Clay used to have a crush on her in 8th grade too. She appears only a few times throughout the book, but we can infer Clay goes to help her after he goes after her in the hallway. The reason I would want to meet Skye is because we don’t know a great deal about her, but from what we do know, it’s easy to tell something has happened to her, similar to Hannah or Melinda’s situations. Seeing that, there are a plethora of questions I would ask her if I had the chance of meeting
Not knowing much about her makes me curious, and that’s why I chose her out of all the characters to meet in real life. This brings many questions to light. If I met Skye in real life, I would ask her why she suddenly changed from a normal girl to someone that separates herself from society and doesn’t want to be involved in anything. We know she has changed because Clay thinks about it while he’s on the bus with her. Furthermore, I would ask her if Clay ended up helping her in the end. We can tell something is wrong and so can Clay. He reaches out to her at the end of the book because he has a chance to save her unlike with Hannah. If Clay did help her I also would ask if he told her about the tapes and Hannah (but ask in a way so I don’t give it away if she doesn’t know). If he didn’t end up helping her, I would ask her if she has ever considered suicide like Hannah and what her thoughts on Hannah’s suicide were. Additionally, I would ask if she was trying to reach out to Clay when she spoke to him on the bus. All the signs point to something is wrong with her. For example, she changed her appearance like Hannah did. Plus we know she hardly talks, so this can be considered an unusual situation for her. These questions are a select few from a large group of things I would ask her.
I chose to met Skye Miller in real life principally because we don’t know a lot about her compared to the other characters. To name a few,
