Fever 1793 - Conflict

The title of the book I am reading is "Fever 1793." The author of the book is Laurie Halse Anderson and the book has 243 pages.

The conflict in the book is man vs nature. The reason I think this, is because in the story there is a bad fever that kills people, and they are trying to fight it. 14 year old Mattie Cook runs a coffeehouse together with her mother and grandfather. The fever effects them in more than one way. There is a risk for them to become sick, and with many people sick around them, they have fewer guests at their coffeehouse and can not make as much money. There is a doctor at the boarder and if he suspects someone to be sick, this person is not allowed to leave their city. This already happened to Mattie and her grandfather when they tried to flee the city.
