Comparing Fever 1793 And Copper Sun

Fever: 1793 by Laurie Halsey Anderson is told from the perspective of Mattie Cook in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania during the 1793 yellow fever epidemic. She lives with her cold-hearted Mother, her aging Grandfather, a Revolutionary War veteran with a parrot named King George. There’s also Eliza, a free black woman who works at the Cook Coffeehouse and Nathaniel, a charming guy Mattie likes. It starts out as yellow fever spreads around with the punishing heat. It’s killing many people, such as Polly, their often lazy servant girl. “Mother” as Mattie calls her is being very protective with the fever spreading around. In fact, people don’t really know what’s going on. As the fever got worse and people started realizing that

1] The fever caught us all by surprise, every day more citizens will become ill, we lost countless loved ones.It seemed like the end of the world though we did not surrender.We worked with each other and after a long wait, we brought Philadelphia back to its original state.

Some of the similarities between Amari’s village and the ship of death is there are Africans in her village and on the slave ship. Another similarity is they had many people in groups. In the village, people lived in different groups

Copper Sun, written by Sharon Draper, is a novel about Amari, a young African girl. She was captured and immediately shipped to the Americas(unknown to her). Amari went through a lot in the Americas; including shackles, sorrow, and lots of strangers. Amari never knew what to think and faced many mixed emotions. The two most important emotions were, anxiety and devastation because they drive the story completely.

The historical fiction story Fever 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson takes place in Philadelphia during the yellow fever epidemic of 1793. Matilda, the main character in the story, wanted to go out and explore the city. Her mother wouldn’t let her go out because of the fear of the yellow fever. Because of this fear, people started leaving the city of Philadelphia and went to the country. Because of this, a good theme for Fever 1793 would be that if people stayed in Philadelphia and worked together, there would be better outcomes.

(the rice plantation where she stayed temporarily). There is a diminutive amount of similarities between Ziavi and Derbyshire Farm’s. In both settings Amari and the people around her were very vigilant. Whether it was for a good or gruesome reason. The children Amari was around throughout the story so far were and are able to entertain oneself but they have some responsibility to go along with the fun.

Amongst the story events, Amari faces fellow owned Africans who have become hollow shells of emotions and lost the spark of life; meanwhile, Amari holds onto her faith to live strongly. ‘She whispered, in her native language, the same words of comfort that Afi had once told her : “In spite of all you must endure, my little Tidbit, the flame of your life spirit will not leave you” (Draper 161.) At this point in the opus, Clay took Tidbit and Amari to go alligator hunting. Clay and his friends were using Tidbit as bait; therefore, the little boy was shivering from fear and cold. Amari was forced to watch but even though her emotions were struck from having to watch the horrid sight, she kept her faith in the boy and comforted Tidbit in one of his toughest times. The following quote expresses how Amari let her spirit lead her in the right direction, mentally and physically. ‘“How will we ever find our way to a place we are not even sure exists?” Polly asked. “Spirits will lead us”’ (Draper 209.) Polly, Amari, and Tidbit just started their journey to escape and are questioning whether to believe Cato or not. Amari wants to

The climax of the story takes place in the Strigoi home, with Rose and her friends about to escape when the Strigoi come home. Richelle Mead shows such great imagery while she writes this scene that it almost occurs in slow motion. Rose’s emotions are shown so vividly that the reader can feel how much terror Rose is in and the way the character sits on the brink of death. The author uses descriptions of the numb feeling of certain limbs, vocabulary that describes the emotion of certain actions, and adjectives that recount colors and sounds. For example, when the Strigoi come home to find Rose and her friends about to escape, they capture Rose. “Isaiah held my wrists so hard, I thought he’d break the bones.” (Mead 298). Rose describes, in detail, the pain of the Strigoi’s deathly grip, and how she feels when her friends escape. “And then: the sweetest of sounds. The front door opening. Mason had taken advantage of my distraction.” (Mead 298). The author also describes the fiery that is in the Strigoi’s eyes as his victims escape. This gives the reader the image of how despicable the Strigoi are and the abuse they put their victims through. This imagery continues into the next

Amari is a 15-year-old African American from the peaceful village, Ziavi; “Amari loved the rusty brown dirt of Ziavi. The path, hard-packed from thousands of bare feet that had trod on it for decades, was flanked on both sides by fat, fruit-laden mango trees, the sweet smell of which always seemed to welcome her home.” (Chapter 1, p.2) Amari is a doubtful character that gains courage through her awful hardships. In the beginning of the book she is captured as a slave when her village was attacked and set ablaze. Her humanity was taken away by being captured. On the voyage through the middle passage to America slaves endured low sanitation, food or water; the women were also commonly raped by sailors. Slaves citizenship was also oppressed; they were only considered property or 3/5th of a person, according to the 3/5ths compromise which

One of the most deadliest outbreaks that ever took place in Philadelphia, PA was the Yellow Fever. This outbreak took place in 1793 and was caused by infected refuges that traveled to Philadelphia. The refuges were infected from being bitten by mosquitoes that carried the disease. After it was all said and done, 2,000-5,000 people died from this tragic event. Since there was no real cure for Yellow Fever, there were a couple different types of treatments that the Philadelphia and French doctors attempted to perform.

1793: the yellow fever has taken over Philadelphia like butterflies migrating. I am a first year physician to volunteer to help fever victims. I, the physician, am doing this so I can report back to to King George the III. There were over a 1,000 people that died of yellow fever in Philadelphia. That is most of the population in Philadelphia. So I am going to study these two methods (the two methods are the American method and the French method.)

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

: Amari was always a thrillseeker and had a particular interest in mythological creatures. She was never very good socially and would rather stay home and read about Lernaean Hydras by herself than to talk anyone. However, she read about a creature called the Tulpa who would be like a companion except it would come and go when she wanted. Everything was great, she had a friend when she wanted and was alone when she wanted but then after a few days, the Tulpa started acting strange.

Marie is from a reservation that discouraged her to find herself in a city full of white people. The white people that she interacts with gives a stereotype that whites are selfish and she has no sympathy for them. Others around her see her as mischievous and a sense of neglection to reality, “Ms. Polatkin, I hardly see how the murder of one poor man has anything to do with the study of Native American literature” she savors the moment that white people are getting what they deserve (Alexie 61). While being an Indian women she was stubborn and got what she wanted. The miscreatiny of Justin Summers death was caused by Marie and her taste for fully manipulating someone, “Women kill with knives” her aggression got the best of her of (Alexie 332). She wants to feel important and heard by others so she protests and goes to dances to embrace her full voice. The killer makes a statement every time they strike because it shows resistance and disobedience. In society sometimes dancing his frown apart in comparison to killing, “the killer plans on dancing forever” Marie will dance and kill forever. In every woman there are motherly instincts whether it is to care for someone such as a child or if it is being disappointed in someone and wishing for better Marie expresses her care of the young boy Mark Jones by returning him to his home unharmed. Curiosity can haunt the mind and lead others into
