When you create an AVD, you will see two versions. For e.g. The Target names for 2.3.3 will be Android 2.3.3 and Google APIs (Google Inc). Try selecting the Google APIs version for your AVD and see if it works.
Try to move to the Google Maps version of the AVD and see if you are able to see the mock locations.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
