Many people hypothesize that the first lines of Ring Around the Rosies referrs to the bubonic plague. The bubonic plague, also called the black death, was an epidemic where red "rosy" patches broke out on the skin in the shape of a ring killing many people in England.
As a student, this is where you should continue to explain the historical implications, background of author, and time period, etc. Please remember that spelling, punctuation, and grammar are important! Always, reread your own posts and edit.
