There were so many deaths many could not be burried properly and were put in shallow graves which also helped the spread of the disease. Very few were immune to the disease, approximately two percent of the population. It effected ever class of people from clergymen to peasants.

Fear and anguish brought out some of the worst qualities in the villagers causing them to turn against one another creating anger, conflict and damage unto one another. In turn these actions fueled by superstition, hysteria and ignorance could become just as fatal as the plague itself. The bubonic plague attacks many individuals in the village as it delivers continuous grief and loss to the whole town. Brooks structures her novel as a non-linear timeline as it jumps backwards and forwards starting after the events of the plague giving hints of what has caused the change in the community. Undoubtedly, the plague causes the disintegration of families in the town.
The Old Poor Law of 1834 was reformed because it could not cope due to the large numbers of people claiming poor relief. This was due to population rise, commercialisation of farming which left people with no jobs, decline of agricultural crafts, harvest failures, food shortages due to war, higher food prices and change in attitude to claiming social welfare as there was no stigma attached to being poor anymore. This led to different measures such as the introduction of the Speenhamland system of 1795. Having investigated the reasons for the reformation of the Poor Law, we will now focus on the reasons that led to the reform. There were six main reasons that led to the old Poor Law Reform to easily pass which were: a willing government, Tories were a minority, Climate change, objectors were not listened to, and a Report based on evidence collected by the commission of enquiry.
The depression of the 1890’s ruined banks, farms, and many of the train leaders were declaring bankruptcy during this time period. Prior to 1890, the Industrial Revolution was outpacing farms. The farmers of the 1890s in the south weren’t getting the price for their cotton to break even. This also happened to the farmers of the Midwest with the wheat harvest. Strikes by workers crippled some parts of the nation when the grain and livestock couldn’t reach the market place.
The church lost man power and impoverishment through not being able to cultivate their vast tracts of land. Many important people including a medieval doctor, Ibn-al–Wardis, and a philosopher named, Gental-da-Foligna died while studying the ways to cure Black Plague. The plague also affected agriculture because their was few peasants to tend to the fields because they were dying and the few left wanted more money because they were doing more work.

Not only were shops greatly affected but feudalism was as well. The serfs started to not work in the fields, causing the lords of the manors to do their own labor. With the constant threat of death all over Europe it forced people to isolate themselves, creating an economic

Journal #1 Why Blacks Get Mad- Cecil Foster 1.What exactly is Celcil Foster's thesis? Cecil Foster's thesis was to get the point that racism was still a huge problem and people weren't noticing how bad it was actually getting. He mentioned that the Rodney King verdict triggered the worst outbreak of violence since the Watts riots.

After this problem had occurred, Rodney became the main focus for how bad race issues were.

Dr. King recognizes that this is a potential flaw in collective action, but the justice pursued by his movement prevents his collective from such ill effects.
