The feature that makes this excerpt a blank verse is that , while it does not present rhyme, it does present iambic pentameter.
Iambic pentamenter consists of lines of five <em>feet</em>, with each <em>foot </em>being two syllables long, one unstressed followed by one stressed syllable. The result is that each verse sounds like it has a heart beat rhythm.

Hello,
I feel that the yellow fever epidemic was such a devastating time. The yellow fever caused many people to lose the lives leaving behind orphaned children to be put into over crowded orphanages.
Not only, the affects of yellow fever had horrible side effects. As stated in the text, “spewing streams of vomit black with digested clots”. The effects of catching yellow fever was dangerous and usually led to death. The extreme temperatures led to a high population of mosquitoes which must have carried the yellow fever.
If you have any questions I will answer them the to the best of my abilities.
Have a great day,
IChameleon
