Tone and Mood

The tone of 13 Reasons Why is usually sarcastic (when Hannah is speaking) and confused (when Clay or the speaker is speaking). Here is a passage which very clearly shows this. Hannah's words are in italics.

"Hello, boys and girls. Hannah Baker here. Live and in stereo.
I don't believe it.
 No return engagements. No encore. And this time, absolutely no requests.
No, I cant believe it. Hannah Baker killed herself." (Asher 7)

Hannah sways Clay's beliefs with the tapes from Clay believing he was innocent and had nothing to do with it, and makes him think  otherwise. Hannah is very harshly sarcastic and it makes him realize exactly what happened.
