San Antonio, Texas

    • A map out of San Antonio, Texas (also known as Bexar in Blood Meridian) would be intriguing as we could almost differentiate between where the average citizen/traveler would go (the city itself) and where the criminals and cowboys would go (the caves and other caverns on the outskirts of the city). On top of that, I am curious to see how much of the culture and history of San Antonio is still present compared to what the city was like during the wild west time period in America. 

Herfordshire (Pride and Prejudice location one)

In Austen's Pride and Prejudice, the Bennets live in the real live, then-rural,  county of Hertfordshire on their imaginary estate of Longbourn. Mr.Bingley's equally fictional Netherfield Park is also here. 

"Upon my word I say no more here than I might say in any house in the neighbourhood, except Netherfield. He is not at all liked in Hertfordshire. Every body is disgusted with his pride. You will not find him more favourably spoken of by any one.”

Buchenwald- Night by Elie Wiesel (Billie Carter)

Setting 4: After traveling to several different camps, Buchenwald becomes the last one. Eliezer's father falls ill here and is not given food or treatment. There he is placed in the invalid bunk where he is beaten by the other invalids when Eliezer is not around. By this point in the story, both Eliezer and his father are weak but Eliezer is still well enough to work. Ultimately, Eliezer's father is beaten by an SS officer right beneath Eliezer's bunk. After about 2 months, the camp is liberated by an underground resistance movement by the U.S.

Auschwitz/Birkenau- Night by Elie Wiesel (Billie Carter)

Setting 2: After traveling on cattle cars, Eliezer's family arrive in Auschwitz where they become aware of labor camps. After being taken to the Birkenau part of Auschwitz, Eliezer's family is separated. His mother and sisters are taken away, leaving Eliezer and his father in Birkenau. Here, Eliezer and his father have to lie about their ages to pass Dr. Mengele's inspection. They are then thrown into the horrors of the camp where they are exposed to the crematoriums and the burnings of young children and individuals that weren't deemed fit for work.
