Dear friend,

The sudden break of the Black Death was pretty harsh. It all happened so fast and allot of people died because of this. it had started in Europe and moved on top other parts of the country and continents. it was first with the rats. they were diseased and then the fleas came. they went to the people and they got sick. then, they all got sick and died. this is horrible. do you see the cause of germs. that is what some people get when they do not take a shower. this is all not a good thing. i think that this was one of the worst deaths anyone can go through. well, this is all i can really summarize about the black death. if you want more information, you can write me back and I'll answer all your questions.=] have a great day my friend.

Dear Friend of Mines,

The Bubonic Plague began when the world started to trade. It seems like the disease came from the rats that carried rats. These flies would bite the people and where they were bit a black ring would develop. People who had the black rings would die within five days or even less. This disease is killing people very fast and it is spreading all over the world. It was spreading from Asia to Europe going from countries such as China, Italy, Germany, France, and even England. Merchants who shiped cargo might have brought in the rats with the infected flies. It was horrible because it seemed like a lot of people were dying all at once and come to think of it about two-thirds of the European population had died due to the Black Death.
Truly Yours,
