Brief Summary Of The Book 'The Grapes Of Wrath'

Firstly I will analyse the story written by the Sun, this tabloid covered the same story as the Times and therefore we can find out their intentions. The Sun had the following bold headline “Deadly strain confirmed”, I can clearly see from the start that they are trying to create a scare in the public and capture the reader’s attention very fast, this is because they don’t tell you what deadly strain they are talking about, if I were to see this in a newspaper lying around I would pick it up because it already got me worried and caught my attention. This has made me think, are they trying to inform the reader or just trying to sell their story? You only learn what the deadly strain is after you read paragraph 1 so this proves my point.

Yellow fever was one of the most vicious diseases in the world and could create panic anywhere. This means that if you ever get the yellow fever then there is no cure and killed at an alarming pace. You wouldn't want to have the yellow

Fever 1793 is a historical fiction novel written by Laurie Halse Anderson that describes how Yellow Fever affected lives of everybody during the three months of sickness and panic in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Life today is more straightforward than it was in 1793 because of the technology. Fever 1793 is a story about a young girl, Matilda “Mattie” Cook, who faces challenges surviving in a Yellow Fever- struck city (Philadelphia). Mattie loses her grandfather on her journey of survival and her mother is nowhere to be seen, leaving Mattie to grow up and survive her journey alone. If the story was taking place in modern times, Mattie and the rest of Philadelphia would not struggle as much as they did in the story. The modern day technology that is here today allows this generation to progress through life smoother. Today’s technology would have a significant, positive impact on the community during 1793. If the people of Philadelphia had the knowledge of symptoms and treatments of Yellow Fever, they would have known for sure if the fever was occurring in the beginning and they would have also known how the fever was to

getting the disease and when. In the end this was okay because the plague doctors

In 1793 Philadelphia suffered from a deadly disease that spread all through the town; it was called yellow fever. The Philadelphia Doctors and the French doctors were attempting to treat yellow fever. The doctors had many ways to try to fix this, but they did not have the technology we do today. Yellow fever occurred 1793. The outbreak happened in Philadelphia. This sad event that killed many people was all because of infected mosquitoes. They came over with the ill refuges. About 2,000 to 5,000 people died. All in all, this was one of the one of the worst things to occur in history

The American Plague was written by Molly C. Crosby, who is as much as a researcher as she is an author. In 1648, a slave ship returning from Africa carried a few mosquitoes infected with a deadly virus know as yellow fever. The ship landed in the New World and thrived in the hot wet climate and on the white settlers. The New World has never come in contact with yellow fever and as a result no immunities have been built up. The virus obtained its name from the way it turns the victim’s skin and eyes a golden yellow. Victims also suffer from very high fevers, external and internal bleeding, and blackish vomit. In America yellow fever killed thousands of peoples, halted trade, and disrupted the government. Although many

In Philadelphia, 1793, a disease that haunted and still haunts America to this day was the yellow fever. It was caused by a little but deadly mosquito called aedes. It spread this disease to many people and it killed around 5,000 people per town. It was the most deadly plague in American history. Some say it was like the black plague. I’ll be talking about why it’s called the Yellow Fever, how did it spread, how it got to America, how it affected the capital, about our local area back then, the people who were trying to help fight it, and the first hospital ever built.

Just like in source 2, in source 3 Giovanni Boccaccio states that the plague was a punishment signifying God’s righteous anger. “This deadly gavocciolo2 would begin to spread and within a short time it would appear at random all over the body”. When many started to see, it was spreading and started to see dark spots or bruises first on arms, legs, and then other parts of the body. As soon as people saw someone with those bruises they automatically knew they were going to die soon since it was happening so much. It appeared that doctors were powerless to save people and there was no remedy but maybe it could still be treated but those who were ignorant were not prescribing the right cure and many died within three days.

Yellow Fever blew through Philadelphia like a huge tornado storm, killing people one by one as it goes by in summer 1793. Over 5000 were killed by this deadly disease that many know as Yellow Fever. Many might be wondering how this disease came to be what it is today. It forms by one little mosquito bite on your body that injects the “poison” like substance. These mosquitos came from the forgein ships that came to Philadelphia in 1793.The “treatment” that they believe in to cure this fever was pretty odd.

Although they couldn’t find what caused the disease they walked the street and forgave anyone who they had caused.

To fully comprehend the effect the yellow fever had on Pennsylvania in 1793, it is necessary to understand disease itself. This instance of widespread yellow fever in Philadelphia is known as an epidemic. An epidemic occurs when there is a pathogen present in the same area area as vulnerable a large number of people vulnerable to the said pathogen. Another common term for an epidemic is outbreak, but an outbreak usually occurs within a more limited area than an epidemic. An epidemic or outbreak can be brought on by an increase of a microbe that causes illness, the introduction of a disease-causing microbe into a new environment, a change to the environment that allows the pathogen to spread more readily, hosts in an area becoming more

Yellow fever, a viral hemorrhagic fever, was one of the deadliest diseases to hit North America. It is transmitted by female mosquitoes of the Aedes aegypti species. When a person is infected with the disease, the symptoms of high fever, nausea, vomiting, yellowing of the skin (also known as jaundice) and muscle aches occur. The cause of Yellow Fever was not known to colonial doctors. It would not be known until 1900. Until then, eighteenth century doctors used the only knowledge they had to fight the

Yellow fever came in like a wrecking ball, across Philadelphia, wiping out everyone in it’s path. American and French doctors' are finding out cures to save the infected victims. In Philadelphia of 1793, around 2,000-5,000 people were killed by yellow fever. The reasoning behind why they got yellow fever was because the infected mosquitos. The mosquitoes came in by foreign ships, because of the water at the bottom of the ships.

The book consistently mentions regarding the depressing phenomenon of the excruciating epidemic in the pages of 47, 74 , 202-204, 243-247. ‘... Blueridge or Lake or Winter or Alta, sectors all recently infected by the plague.’ However, these unfortunate civilians are assuming that the epidemic is infecting them as it is very contagious. When in reality, “...I always thought the plagues were spontaneous. They’re not. … The pump the virus into the slum sector through a series of underground pipe.” Yet, they are being gullible enough to believe that the government has no correlation to the death of the virus because of the propaganda the government is distributing to manipulate them. Nevertheless, the scientists are mutating the virus in order to evolve it to increase how lethal the plague is. ‘... every time an interesting new virus appears into the meat factories, the scientists take samples and craft them into viruses that can infect humans.’ Consequently, due to the manipulation through lies it cause destruction that is, murdering thousands of citizens in

On December 6th in the New York Times, Donald McNeil Jr. writes, “Yellow Fever Epidemic in Africa Shows Gaps in Vaccine Pipeline. An outbreak of yellow fever in Africa this year was a huge epidemic that was almost a disaster. “The epidemic was not widely recognized”, public health experts recently reported. The epidemic also showing the weaknesses in the emergency vaccine supply pipeline.The first deaths of yellow fever were reported in Angola. Originally they were misdiagnosed as food poisoning. The global emergency vaccine stockpile was drained before just one city was entirely protected from yellow fever. Also, diagnostic laboratories were too far away which made it months before people were warned that the outbreak was present.
