Connection 1 -
Throughout the whole book, I recalled a moderate summary of a classic book my mom claimed as interesting, which was another book with an epidemic-based theme/conflict affecting the complete setting. Exclusively, the migrations which took place within this book, Fever, resembled the strong element of desperation in the other, Pest (according to my mom), of not being able to escape the plagued town, enabling a great chance of getting infected by the hazardous disease. Anyhow, other than that book in particular matters, there were various other plague-related recounts, especially so for I am currently developing a story revolving around the Late Medieval Age's bubonic plague, for it was one of the language and literature assignments. However, the relations all mainly direct to the plague rather than the other moral themes behind all suggestions.
Connection 2 -
I am slightly unsure of whether this is an accurate response to connecting to the state of being sick; anyway, when Mattie is infected by the feared yellow fever, the roaming disease of Philadelphia through the whole course of the story, I assumed that this could most likely be the worst sickness that had racked Mattie in her lifetime, so I brought up the memory of the greatest sickness I underwent; when I had a slight fever. It had happened during my stay at the previous country my family had resided in. I was informed that the body temperature increased to about 40 degrees Celsius, which is 4 degrees above the normal, standard body temperature for humans (36 degrees Celsius). However, as I read the effects of the great fever within the book, the minor fever I had caught was relatively mild, as the yellow fever was quick to kill, especially without the appropriate medical technology of that age (18th century), along with hoaxes (for example, draining blood).
