Typically disease has been seen more as a nuisance than a critical aspect of historical input. The author presented an interesting view on parasitism by creating and exploring subdivisions in the disease classifications. With
Historical writing is dependent on the author’s perspective and the point of view they employ. Ambrose Bierce’s story “Chickamauga” depicts the journey of a boy as he travels through the woods and joins a troop of wounded soldiers.

Historical materialists look at history as multiple layers that fold over one and other, this excludes them from looking at a historical event as a
“History is written by the victors”; a common phrase that doesn’t take into account who writes that history.
