Crooks is suspicious of Lennie because he doesn't understand Lennie's mental disability and is wary of his size and strength. Lennie confides in Crooks the dream of owning a farm with George, but Crooks initially doubts the feasibility of the dream due to the racism and discrimination he has faced throughout his life.

What is crooks opinion of the secret Lennie told him you book of mice and men?

Crooks is surprised when Lennie tells him about the dream to own a farm with George, Candy, and the rabbits. He's initially skeptical but becomes more hopeful as he realizes that Lennie genuinely believes in the dream. Crooks is moved by the idea of being included in the dream, feeling a sense of belonging and camaraderie.


What does Lennie tell crooks even though he probably shouldn't have?

Lennie tells Crooks about the plan he and George have (and now Candy as well) to get a little farm together. Lennie will be able to tend the rabbits, and as he and Crooks sit in Crooks' room out in the barn, Candy is in the bunkhouse "figurin' and figurin'" about the rabbits and how they might be able to make some money on them. The dream they had of "livin' offa the fatta the lan'" (living off of the fat of the land) was supposed to kept a secret, but Lennie doesn't realize that he shouldn't tell Crooks about it. At first, Crooks scoffs at the idea. He says, "No one never gets to Heaven, and no one never gets no land," but when Candy admits that it's true, Crooks wants in. However, Curley's wife winds up coming out to the barn, and she puts Crooks back in his place, so he ends the chapter telling Candy that he was just kidding about wanting to go to the dream farm with them. As readers, we know that he wasn't kidding, but we also know that Crooks is right to realize that he wouldn't be able to join with the others since he is a Black man in the 1930's south (California) and the prejudice of the whites will keep him from joining them.

Why do you think George wants to keep his and Lennie's plan a secret?

George likely wants to keep their plan a secret to protect Lennie from getting overly excited and potentially making a mistake due to his intellectual limitations. Additionally, keeping their plan quiet may prevent interference from others who may not understand their bond and mutual dependence on each other.
