Two points of view

The reason I titled this two points of view is because throughout the book (Fatal Fever) it’s Mary Mallon’s point of view against the New York’s health department.

Typhoid fever spread rapidly and killed thousands of people, and then the health department found Mary and how she was spreading Typhoid fever to people that she cooked for because she had but was still healthy, their point of view was that she was causing trouble and needed to be stopped, after they found her and kept her in the hospital than later an island, after they calmed typhoid down she was let go but she wasn’t cured from typhoid, so she then wasn’t aloud to cook, which made it hard for her to make money and she then secretly went back to cooking, which she ended up back on her Island away from everyone else. Throughout the whole story Mary’s view is that she never had Typhoid and the health department took her into away from her life for no real reason. Later in the book she accepts that she’s not leaving the Island and does her best to get a job on the island and to continue her life instead of moping around.

 

The first page I did of notes shows how  there is a lot of classism in their time. This shows that Mary had a view of what the Health Department was doing, and that they were doing wrong things to her.

 

The next one is when I rearranged my notes. I mainly wrote how Typhoid can hurt more than just the Physical body.

 

In this page I wrote about how people should listen to the government when yours and others lives are at stake. This goes into the Health departments view of Mary spreading Typhoid.

 

For these last few pages I wrote a summary of the book and the general social issues and central ideas of this book.

 

The last page is just a chart I made about the causes and effects of Typhoid fever.
