Mapping: Dubliners

The mapping of Clay proved to be very challenging, but it showed me of the same rewards that came with mapping Araby and Eveline. The biggest addition the map added was clarity about the physical journey that Maria took because she was a very mobile character. Being able to see the route she took made the story easier to visualize after reading it again. The mapping process did present a few challenges though; namely the fact that Maria took the tram on her journey. Because she took the tram I did my best to trace her tram route on the train tracks in Dublin. Another quirk that I encountered while mapping her Journey was her stop at the Pillar was impossible to map because the Pillar was destroyed in 1966. Despite these obstacles, mapping Clay was an overall rewarding process when it came to visualizing the story.
