Matilda
Friendly neighbors?Friendly neighbors?
"There is great distress in the city for want of cash. Friendship Is nearly entirely banished from our city"
In this quote that I got from the book Fever 1793 is trying to express that people were running out of money and couldn't find a way to get money because all the cities were at risk of getting the fever. Friendships were totally gone because no one really knew who had the fever and who didn't. So when they would see somebody they would getaway or be really rude. Fever 1793 is reflecting that in that time of the epidemic, there was no true friends.

Limit of Population
"The yellow fever will discourage the growth of great cities in out nation"
This quote from Fever 1793 interprets that day by day, hour per hour, minute by minute, and second per second the people of Philadelphia were dyeing. With that said, the population was going down and discouraging the cities from growth. There were only a few who had survived the fever, in the case of Matilda she and her mother survived. Whithin total of thousands of souls flied during the year 1793 in the cities of philadelphia.

Souls and Plagues in the Air
"Hot dry winds forever blowing, dead men to the grove-yards going, funeral verses Oh! What plagues there is no knowing!"
This other quote from the book Fever 1793 is representingthe weather and number if population in people dyeing . Since the moth in which fever happened was in September, which means it was still hot but getting cold, so the quote says "hot, dry winds forever blowing" which is reasonable for the month of September. The dead men were going to grove yards obviously, and lots of funerals. By the last part of the quote " what plagues there is no knowing! " , they really don't know what plagues rather was so they say no knowing. Fever 1793 makes us see and understand what the people of Philadelphia went thru in the year of 1793.

Death Flying
"Shafts of death fly closer and to us everyday"
This quote from the book Fever 1793, is explaining about the epidemic of fever. I'ts trying to say that hundredss of people died day by day during that time of the epidemic. And is getting closer and closer to the ones that are not sick yet. But if they don't protect themselves enough, they will get the fever because it's in the air and that's the worst part. During that time, all the people were acting very rude because they wanted to protect themselves and their family. Fever 1793 illustrates the understanding of people dyeing of sicknesses.

Epidemic
"The plot rages the epidemic itself"
By this quote that i took from the book Fever 1793, it explains how bad the epidemic of fever was. It was that bad that they called it an epidemic. And it wasn't just a regular fever, it was called "Yellow Fever". It was called yellow fever because it was wasn't than just a regular fever. Yellow fever made your eyes yellow, it will just simply make you feel like its the end of your life. Fever 1793 is a really interesting book, it not only tells the reader a story but teaches you a lot of lessons in life.
