Hey,
So this is the last blog post about the amazing and exiting book, Fever 1793. It made me shiver and smile in the last few chapters. Nathaniel and Mattie's romance really got into me and I started hoping that they will end up together. Unfortunately, the ending of Nathaniel's and Mattie's relationship was not fully revealed. This time, my job is connector so I have to find an issue/issues that I can relate to or the world can relate to in this book!
Connection #1 -
The first connection that I have is the main focus of the book, which is the fever. Yellow fever is a really terrible disease that was described very precisely int his book, with details of blood shot eyes and coughing blood which seems very unpleasant. In the summer of 1793, a plague started around Philadelphia which infected and killed many. The yellow fever symptoms like headaches, muscle or joint aches, fever and vomiting.
A connection that I am making for this time period and the book is plagues and epidemics in general. For example, Ebola harmed many people as it spread rapidly this year. Ebola was a huge problem in Western Africa, which has symptoms like coughing blood and headaches.
Connection #2 -
The second connection that I noticed in this book is the way Matilda felt for Nathaniel. She thought about him all the time and prayed that he would be okay. While they were together she really wanted him to hold her or she had imagined him in the future with her. Mattie looked at the painting that Nathaniel made and the flowers all of the time, which meant she was in love.
Connecting this issue to nowadays, many people fall in love. It could happen in societies, school, and work. You could fall in love with anyone who is special to you, and I assume that it is the same process as it was in the story. People cannot stop thinking about the person they are in love with or always imagine their futures together. Some people can pray that the person they love will be healthy and well for the next day at bad times, like in "Fever 1793".
Hope you liked this last blog post!
I really enjoyed this book and couldn't stop reading it, it is probably one of my favorites.
