Answer:
Anderson’s portrayal of yellow fever symptoms was mostly historically accurate because Mother had several of the symptoms documented in An American Plague, but not on the exact days as listed in the historical account.
Explanation:
This question is about "Fever 1793" written by Laurie Halse Anderson. In this book Anderson portrays the outbreak of yellow fever that affected Philadelphia and how it was devastating and destroyed many families.
Anderson made a strong historical survey, where she researched the way people were affected by the disease, the number of deaths, famous people who were infected and the panic and terror that settled in the city. Anderson used the "An American Plague" as a source of research on the symptoms of the disease, but made minor changes.
