"Bodies are piling up like firewood"
"Two bony hands curled around my shoulder like the claws of a panther"
"Life was a battle, and Mother, a tired and bitter captain"
"We walked past blocks of empty houses along streets that felt abandoned"
"My stomach took control"
"A roast beef bigger than a horse"
"The sun wasn't made of fire, it was a monstrous snowball"
Some metaphors in "Fever 1793" include the yellow fever epidemic symbolizing the loss of innocence and the decaying society, and the fever itself representing the chaos and desperation of the time period. Mattie's journey can also be seen as a metaphor for resilience and growth in the face of adversity.
"My father had built our home and business after the War for Independence ended in 1783. I was four years old. The coffeehouse sat just off the corner of Seventh and High Streets. At first we were lucky if a lost farmer strayed in, but business improved when President Washington's house was built two blocks away." (p. 7)
"Grandfather stayed silent until we approached a limping man dressed in dark rags, pushing a car.
"'Wonder where that fellow's going?' he said. 'Looks like he belongs on the waterfront.'
"A thin white arm flopped over the side of the cart as it jostled over the cobblestones.
"'Hullo there, good man!' called Grandfather. 'There is no place for the dead up here. Hullo!"' (p. 61)
