(you may do each character on a separate post it if you want to 27amrahman https://padlet.com/27amrahman/9ldwslmgiiof/wish/406422151 The main character in Fever is Matilda. Matilda is fierce, I chose this trait because in the book her mother is yelling at her and she still talks back to her mother. She also goes to the market and negotiates reasonable prices. She is negotiating with grown men and women and never gets beaten down. ]]> 2019-11-04 18:16:06 UTC https://padlet.com/27amrahman/9ldwslmgiiof/wish/406422151 2. Historical THINGS I LEARNED in my novel: List five (5) new and distinctly different pieces of information you learned about this historic period as a result of reading this novel. 27amrahman https://padlet.com/27amrahman/9ldwslmgiiof/wish/407021271 The first thing I learned is that houses and buildings did not have Air Conditioning so in the summer people would just have to deal with it
The second thing I learned is people were not very kind. When someone was sick, they threw them on the streets and did not have a proper burial. 
The third thing I learned was in 1793, they did not have medicine. 
The fourth thing I learned is that when someone passes away if they have a child the child is abandoned and nobody helps him/her.
The fifth and final thing I learned was when something was wrong, food was scarce and food was rationed into tiny servings.

What questions do you have about the characters for the author? 27amrahman https://padlet.com/27amrahman/9ldwslmgiiof/wish/407544980 what bothered me through out this book was the lack of respect people had for others.
