Mapping: Dubliners

Mapping Araby definitely aided in understanding the story because it allows you to see how far the protagonist was travelling in effort to impress the girl he was so infatuated with. When reading the story the reader doesn't really get much of a sense of how far this young boy travels alone late at night in Dublin. It was also very interesting just being able to look in street view and follow the route that  he took to get to the train and eventually go to the bazaar. Araby was probably the easiest story to map simply because the story makes a good point of using street names and train stations to describe the route the boy took on his journey. The only difficulty in mapping Araby was mapping the actual location of the bazaar. Overall, the mapping of Araby was fairly simple, but looking at the map really helps the reader to appreciate the distance traveled by the protagonist and aides in making his self reflection at the end of the story more emotional.
