"Excuse me, Miss. Have you seen my granddaughter, Mattie? She must be around here somewhere. Filthy little urchin, she is, wearing a grimy dress and a ragged cap." "Matilda, Polly's dead." (page 13 the last words on the page)

"I'm sorry, Matilda," he said, "I'm leaving you alone."

"Don't die. Don't die. Please, Please I love you. Oh god please don't let him die."

"As he was walking down the road a white arm fell out of the wagon."

"I am concerned for your future," he said. "We must form our battle plans, both for this skirmish and the rest of the war."

The resolution of "Fever 1793" is when Matilda and her family return to Philadelphia to start anew after surviving the yellow fever epidemic. Matilda decides to open a coffeehouse with Eliza, marking a new beginning for her and her community. The city slowly begins to rebuild, and life starts returning to normalcy.

Nathaniel Benson is a wealthy, caring, and enterprising young man who runs the coffeehouse where Matilda works in the book "Fever 1793." He is a kind and supportive friend to Matilda during the epidemic and plays an important role in helping her navigate the challenges that arise.

The Characters in the book like Matilda are not real and probably did not exist. However the event which was a breakout of the Yellow Fever in Philadelphia was true and very very real. The EPIDEMIC or a severe outbreak of something killed nearly 5,000 or even more people.

Not trying to be mean, but I don't really feel like answering this so I will give it to you brief:

A frost comes and everyone gets all happy and heads back to Philadelphia. Mattie and Eliza reopen the coffee shop and it bustles with business again. The run it differently then before. Nathaniel comes back out of the house and helps Mattie with the shop. The parrot never comes back. A little bit after the town is back to normal, President rides through town and then everyone sees a car behind his wagon. Mattie's mother is home.

In the book "Fever 1793" by Laurie Halse Anderson, the yellow fever epidemic serves as a metaphor for the destruction and chaos caused by the disease.

The color yellow doesn't always mean the same thing in all books, so there is really no way to answer this question. Sometimes yellow is symbolic of happiness and light... of brightness, cheerfulness, or hope. Other times (The Yellow Wallpaper comes to mind), it is a sickly color that emphasizes illness, frailty, or age. In other books it could be purely descriptive... no deeper meaning at all. She was wearing a yellow dress, and that means nothing about her mood or her intentions. :) Yellow, if you like it, means that you are responsible and/or busy. Of course, "yellow" may also be used to refer to cowardice. To determine which of these uses the author is drawing on (and it may be more than one), you should begin by paying attention to what items the color is primarily associated with, esp. if they are ones commonly associated with the themes listed so far, e.g., 'bright and sunny' or sickly or aged. In other words, do not just look for the meaning of the color abstractly, but for key objects with that color that feature prominently in the story. Or perhaps you are thinking not of literary symbolism but to "yellow-covered literature". This term, and related expressions, originated in ante-bellum America, to refer to cheap, sensational and very popular novels ("dime novels")and magazines, often bound in striking or unusual colors. In the late 1890s the term "yellow journalism" appeared. This term is a contraction of "Yellow Kid journalism", named for the lead character in cartoons appearing in Pulitzer and Hearst newspapers, and used to refer to the sensational stories in these cheap papers. But given the similarity of content, the shortened expression may have been partly inspired or assisted by the earlier expression.

Mattie's mother does not live up to their last name "Fever 1793" because she is portrayed as a calm and cautious character throughout the book, in contrast to the connotations of fever which suggest heat, excitement, and chaos.
