Quiz 2/14/2012 Patti Smith " Just Kids"

Setting is a key part of any memoir. The environment that one grows up in or grows in; the place he or she lives, etc.... forms the individual. In Just Kids by Patti Smith, Smith uses the settings of Coney Island and the Chelsea Hotel to help define her and Robert Mapplethorpe and their development emotionally and artistically. How does Smith portray these two settings (using excerpts from the book) to define and trace the relationship of Smith and Mapplethorpe and their journey from novice artists to more developed ones?
