Answer:
wealthy families fleeing the city.
Step-by-step explanation:
The narrator of fever helps readers imagine the fear of living through the yellow fever outbreak by describing "wealthy families fleeing the city."
Fever 1793 was written by Laurie Halse Anderson. It is a historical fiction story about a 14yr-old Mattie Cook, who has the aspiration of turning the Cook Coffeehouse into one of the biggest companies in Philadelphia. However, the tragedy of Yellow fever struck the city, including Mattie Cook.
With everybody in the city seeing the devastation of yellow fever in the city, even the wealthy were not left out. This prompted several wealthy families to flee the city.
