RATS OF FRIGHT MARES!
(RATS OF FRIGHT MARES!)- BY DIVYA SRIMOHANAKUMAR

There was an apartment in the heart of a desolate island. The grim and gloomy building was the worst she'd ever seen; it was rather like a colossal abandoned dungeon unlike a glamorous place to live in. The salvaged, antique doors and windows were enshrouded with a solid layer of grime, which looked as if it had been untouched for centuries. The shrivelling trees lamented the imminent, tragic demise of their dominating, sovereign rulers (THE GNAW OF RATS!!!). The walls unveiled a filthy, damp odor. The windows of the "Volatile house" looked back at her like the lustrous, piercing eyes of a devious soul, along with the gigantic door at the pathway leading to the "house" that seemed to give her the image it was an entrance to hell. The moonlight had formed a ghoulish shadow on the dilapidated, vulnerable building.

A gnaw of rats had dwelt in the rear partition of the hideous, ancient building.
The reclusive rats, had decided that they had adequate trouble of dwelling in a human world, because the humans were trying to push them into extinction. The troop of rats, were assembled in order to discuss a sanction for the abominable humans.

Ratus, the ruler of the rats said “ We must take action, and make them bear immense anguish, so that we can hinder the viscous humans from doing this ever again”.
"YES!!!" , the excited rats screeched with laughter.
Ratus said, " We need to conceal ourselves so that we'll be unseen to the humans, otherwise they'll kill us! but... too prevent this from happening, we need to hide ourselves in mysterious locations such as in the sewage"

Therefore, the irate gnaw of rats had privy and plotted to challenge the humans in return by spreading an unbearable, sporadic plague called "THE BLACK DEATH!”

Firstly, they had instigated to travel around the globe, by hiding in ships. Then they hid themselves in mysterious places: inside sewage, holes and in drainage; so that they'd

    At the time, this seemed to be the most logical and valid theory for many people but that was due to the lack of scientific and medical knowledge that the people had during the fourteenth century. We now know that the Black Death was caused by rats that were carrying the Yersinia pestis bacterium and that oriental rat fleas would bite the resistant carrier rats and become infected with Yersinia pestis. After a few days the Yersinia pestis would multiply creating blockage in the flea’s midguts starving the fleas. The fleas would then begin to feed aggressively and would continuously try to rid of the blockage by regurgitating, causing hundreds of bacterium to enter the wound. This would infect the host, and as the population of non-resistant rats died out, the fleas would then move on to different hosts such as humans, causing a human pandemic.…

    Zoonosis is a word people used for all sorts of life threatening diseases. They used zoonosis so people wouldn't be as scared, just cause the name.

    Many rats and rodents flocked to the littered streets, finding morsels of anything that would satisfy their hunger. This is where the transportation of the plague would come to play. As the rodents feasted on the waste, the plague-infested fleas would jump to the nearest passerby. "The most devastating to England was the bubonic plague.

    81. The rats in the poem from the Book of Songs are referring to the higher class people, such as the aristocratic land owners. Life for the Chinese peasants during the Zhou dynasty was cruel and unfair. The peasants were exploited and the higher class was taking advantages of the low class people. A way the nobles have been taking advantage of the peasants are that the peasants spent a few years growing millet, but the land owners just ate all the grain without showing the low class any regard. The peasants have also been treated unfairly. A way they have been treated with disrespect is that the aristocratic people have not been showing the peasants any kindness and have not been acknowledging their toil. This kind of peasants’ protest was very common of the ancient world. It was very common that the high class land owners treated their peasant tenants unfairly and took advantage of them because they were poor and they had the power. In this protest of the peasants, they referred the lords as the rats and that the rats eat away their agricultural production. Also, the peasants threaten to abandon the land that they were supposed to tend to go to a happier state where the conditions for them to live were better. Just by looking at the poem, there was a definite class struggle between the wealthy and the poor.…

    "By turning the world upside-down, the black death helped pave way for the new" (Giblin 44). There were many names for the Black Death including The Great Pestilence, The Great Plague, The Great Mortality, The Death, and The Black Plague. Genoan ships are thought to have brought the disease from Kaffa (Dunn 26). The bacteria first infected the black rats and transmitted the infection to humans by fleabites (Bagley 100). Once people are infected, they infect others very rapidly. Plague causes fever and a painful swelling of the lymph glands called buboes, which is how it gets its name (101). The symptoms of the plague were swelling in the groin of under the armpit, which grew to the size of a small apple or egg, also known as tumors. The tumors…

    (CJ Duncan, Scott S). One historian believes that “the disease was a viral haemorrhagic fever, characterized by long incubation period of 32 days, which allowed it to be spread widely even with the limited transport of the Middle Ages.” It was spread by being emerged from its “animal host” and then attacked Europe/Asia communities over and over. The Black Plague spread quickly, believed to being spread by animal host, because fleas and rats would transfer it to other animals. Another prediction was that a fleabite would an infected rat; Yersinia Pestis grows in its gut. The Black Death is believed to have started to spread from the human to human with no rats and or fleas involved because places where the plague hit there were no…
