In "Fever 1793" by Laurie Halse Anderson, the church bells ring as a signal of death and as a warning to the community about the spread of yellow fever. The ringing serves to alert residents to the rising death toll and to remind them of the ongoing crisis. It reflects the pervasive fear and desperation during the epidemic, marking significant moments as the disease ravages Philadelphia. The bells become a haunting reminder of loss and the urgency to respond to the growing threat.
