In the novel Fever, 1793, by Laurie Halse Anderson there is a lot of conflicts. I believe conflict is a situation or problem that one character or more are facing. These conflicts are the struggles of the fever, having to deal with the Ogilvies, and Mattie facing herself. Mattie’s perseverance while facing the challenges of getting through the fever, facing the Ogilvies, and facing herself and her doubts helped lead her from childhood to adulthood.

At some point in a person's life, they must make the transition from childhood to adulthood. Many of a persons early life experiences can contribute to this transition, even if it is the simplest of things. Yellow Fever hit Philadelphia hard in 1793. It also hit hard in the book Fever: 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson. In this book, fourteen year-old Mattie Cook?s life gets turned upside-down when Yellow Fever strikes Philadelphia. In her adventure, Mattie must show responsibility, and experience the pain of death before she matures into an adult.

Laurie Halse Anderson’s historical fiction novel , Fever 1793, takes place in Philadelphia. Mattie goes throughout the city wondering where everyone is after yellow fever has spread. Then she finds a little girl that will help her with walking around and trying to stay calm. By using emotions and character development, Anderson creates the lesson that when you have someone special in your life, you should never take them for granted.

In the historical fiction Fever 1793 by Laurie Hale’s Anderson, the main theme is perseverance.

As for the setting it takes place at a family’s home. I think it takes place somewhere in the early 1900's. I think it would make a difference to the story if it were set somewhere else, only because if the sick girl was brought to like a hospital for example, maybe she would have been diagnosed and helped sooner without all the hassle that occurred at the house.

The 1878 yellow fever epidemic in Memphis proved to be fatal, killing almost all who got infected. The disease traveled up from New Orleans infecting and killing many on its way. Memphis was going through reconstruction and was becoming the center for merchants and travelers. Furthermore, Memphis began to become overly populated only increasing the devastation that would be caused by the yellow fever. This was a confusing period were even medical professionals did not know where the disease came from or how they could to stop it. The epidemic caused panic and challenged the state government of Tennessee and made changes to it that are still in effect today.

Have you ever tried to compare a story to a survival guides? Many people have tried to compare "To Build a Fire" by Jack London to the survival guide Deep Survival by Laurence Gonzales. "To Build a Fire" was about a man who went hiking through the Yukon trails with his dog. The man did not think it was really cold. But it was extremely cold to the dog because it was below zero. The man had a goal of making it back to camp by 6pm.the man got delayed cause he had stepped in a puddle and now he would have to build a fire to dry his socks and to warm himself back up. Deep Survival was about the steps a person should take to survive in a dangerous situation. The man in "To Build a Fire" will fail and succeed at basic survival skills from Deep Survival.

Humphreys, however, takes a political approach in “Yellow Fever and the South,” focusing on governmental actions outside of the realm of the courtroom. Her work is composed of a detailed outline of the development of public health in the South and the subsequent tension that manifested between federal and state powers. Humphreys asserts that public health in the South was born in response to the frequent yellow fever outbreaks in urban environments where there was “overcrowding, putrefying organic matter, and the excavation of soil for construction.” Sanitary reform, along with quarantine, was an often attempted mechanism of epidemic prevention. Sanitation efforts were difficult given the fierce belief in laissez-faire government, the conflation

I can never open a book without learning something. The five books that piqued my curiosity are Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond, Pieces of You by Tablo, Let’s Explore Diabetes With Owls by David Sedaris, The Winter King by Bernard Cornwell, and Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones.

The first main point in the story Typhoid Fever is that literature can have everlasting impact on people’s lives. In the story, Patricia reads “The Highwayman” poem to Frankie. Because the children are not allowed to talk to each other, Patricia reads bits and pieces to Frankie at different times to avoid being caught. Frankie is awaiting the next part of the poem when he learns that Patricia has passed away. He is very disappointed because he never learnt the end of the poem. He keeps wondering and wondering until Sean learns the rest and recites it. If Sean had never took the time to learn the poem, Frankie would have most likely been living the rest of his life wondering how it ended.

There is a certin unsureness in the circulation and communication of information in A Journal of the Plague Year by Daniel Defoe. This instability of the language in this proto-novel is caused by the author citing two sides to every point or statement he makes causing contradictions. On top of this Defoe repeats the same points throughout the entire text. This uncertainty helps to make the reader believe the writing is an actual journal as opposed to an edited, actual non-fiction.
