Essay on Fever

Ding Dong the church bells tolled.  Thousands were dead and I am about to loose all the hope I had.  The sun baked the streets until the rainwater rose in ghostly plumes of steam.   I felt like a noodle over-boiled in the stewpot.  Fever victims lay in the street to die with little water and food.  In the book Fever by Laurie Halse Anderson people became desperate for food and water which led to thievery and chaos.

  

In the late 1700's greediness was spread as fast as the disease Yellow Fever.  Farmers were afraid to come to town because of Yellow Fever .Today we have grocery stores that will last us for about a year but we also have to order food and goods from farmers and factories.  They didn't think of the other people dying because of them not bringing in food for the villagers.  Starvation led to death as well as thievery.  Many people are so selfish of preserving  their own life that they don't think of others.   More and more people became starved because of break-in's.    Here in America we have doctors, cops and even military to help prevent thievery and terrible diseases  that happened in the late 1700's.  We will always have some diseases lingering in the world, it just depends how we can handle the idea of a disease.

Food wasn't the only problem that was at hand.  Most people needed fresh water and medicine.  The pharmacy ran out of medicine in the first tow weeks.  There was only a few things that you could do to help people.  A few was by going to a house that was for the sick and ask for a doctor or ask for medicine to treat yourself.   I can't imagine how painful it was not only as the patient and family but for the doctors too.  The doctors had to tell the families that their loved one had passed on.  I think the doctors had one of the hardest job not only back then but today too. 
 

Thousands and Thousands had passed on to the eternal life while there were only a few who survived in the present world.  The Yellow Fever that struck the Philadelphia area does not exist anymore thanks to the doctors of the late 1700's.  Now and again we will have a disease lingering but we will never go through that type of epidemic again.

  

 

   

   

Chain Story

Authors Note: This story wad created by my entire language arts class. It may not be one of the best but I think it turned out all right.

All of a sudden the sky turned gray and big clouds started to roll in.  The news said that this would be the worst storm in history.  Everyone was terrified!  Was it the end of the world?  People stayed in there homes from the thought of ice the size of donuts. The ice soon started to fall from the sky and it started to hit cars, buses, school and buildings.  More than 5 people were reported dead, 30 were critically injured and just100 people we slightly injured.   While the storm got bigger, hospitals soon became full.  More and more ice came down, while this is happening people are trying to take cover in there basements.  No one knew if they were going to survive this fatal storm.  The hail soon became the size of huge Semi's.  The food was running low, the people knew that if this storm didn't end soon they would die of hunger.  That is when all of a sudden the ice stopped falling and the clouds started to clear up!  People started to hoot  and holler "The storm is over." It only took moments to realize that not only the storm stopped but the whole city was destroyed.  I wonder if this town can fix the damage of a life time?

Llamas

Llamas spit in your face and I think it is disgusting but only if you get hit by the spit otherwise it is funny. My mom knows someone that has a llama farm and I am sure she got spit on a million times. Oh how I love llamas, I wish I was a llama because they are tall and know one bothers them because they would spit on you. I wonder if it is true that every time a llama gets scared they stick their heads in sand. Man do I wish I was a llama.

Super Bowl 45

The super bowl is a very important event between the two teams that are in it. This year the two teams that are in it are the Packers and the Steelers. I am rooting for the Packers because where they are from it is only a few hours away from my hometown. Winning the super bowl isn't the only positive thing that can come from this event. For example the economy could get better because of all the people wanting to visit and see Lambeau Field for their self. I can't even imagine what Wisconsin would be like if we win Super Bowl 45. This Sunday will be a historic event.

Pets

I have always loved animals and I always will. When I was about 11 years old my dog passed away. My sister, dad and I all want to get a dog but my mom won't let us. We could have got a cute golden lab from our friends but my mom said she would divorce my dad if he got one. Of course my mom was joking, but we really don't need a dog right now with all our sports that are going on right now. I wish I could have a dog but the timing is not working for us right now. I will always love animals but the timing is just not right.
