In the book Fever 1793, they couldn't send letters to Ludington's farm because Mary was unable to reach the farm due to the outbreak of yellow fever in Philadelphia. The epidemic disrupted communication throughout the region, making it difficult for messages to be delivered to rural areas like Ludington's farm.

Hey so I have a song I am doing for this book... its a project but I chose In The Arms Of An Angle by Sarah Mclaughan. I chose this one because it was a sad song and so was the book and it reminds me of how Mattie is trying to get refuge from the Fever and she is just waiting for it all to be over to change her ways to respect her mother because she lost so much and she is more mature. Hope I helped I'm only in like 8 grade and I have a project like this due tomorrow so yeah don't judge me haha
In "Fever 1793," Bush Hill is depicted as a mansion in Philadelphia that serves as a temporary hospital during the yellow fever epidemic. It is overcrowded, unsanitary, and chaotic, with sick patients being tended to by overwhelmed nurses and physicians. The conditions at Bush Hill highlight the devastation and desperation caused by the epidemic.
In "Fever 1793," a simile is "My stomach fell to my toes like a rock dropped down a well." This comparison helps the reader understand the intense fear and anxiety the protagonist is feeling.

She is an author. She has written books like Speak, Fever 1793, and Twisted. Laurie Halse Anderson is an amazing author. I adore her. My favorite book written by her is Chains. The sequel has just come out, Forge. I would suggest this author to anyone in search.
No, the book and movie are nothing alike.
If you act like any of those girls (in the movie) or even their moms, then you are mad hot with the beiber fever.. if not, then you are in denial. which is even a stronger case of beiber fever.
A Epidemic disease with a big death rate. Matilda changed after it because she became more mature. She became more like a young woman. :)
