Ryan Shaver Character Analysis

Ryan Shaver is the eighth name on Hannah’s list. He edits the Lost-N-Found Gazette at high school, a publication that distributes notes he finds around school. In it, he prints a poem he stole from Hannah after earning her trust, effectively allowing people all over the school—even teachers—to analyze Hannah’s words without giving her credit. In doing so, Ryan becomes one of the many people who rob Hannah of her agency and self-expression, making her feel as though she can’t even own her own thoughts.
