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.


What does the description of crooks room reveal about its occupant?

The description of the room that crooks inhabits in of mice and men indicates that he is a man of some education and higher level thinking, he is fairly organized, and he has personal pride. his room is both workroom and living quarters, a place where he has lived in isolation for quite some time. '' this room was swept and fairly neat, for crook's was a proud, aloof man. he kept his distance and demanded other people to keep theirs. His body was bent over to the left by his crooked spine, and his eyes lay deep in his head.'' From the objects in his room, it is apparent that crooks has been here for many years because he possesses many more things then the other ranch men. Crooks is alone a great deal since the other workers are boarded in the bunkhouse. While he must suffer from his back injury's , he also spends time reading, further he tries to improve his intellectually because he possesses a dictionary. As a segregated man, crooks studies the California civil rights code to be sure of his rights. Yet, for all his possessions, crook's room is a lonely place.

In book Room 13 why is chapter 13 blank?

In the book "Room 13" by Robert Swindells, Chapter 13 is intentionally left blank to create suspense and intrigue for the reader. This literary technique is often used by authors to build anticipation and curiosity, prompting readers to wonder what information or events may have been omitted from the narrative. By omitting Chapter 13, Swindells leaves room for interpretation and encourages readers to actively engage with the text to fill in the gaps in the story.

In of mice of men How is the theme of loneliness developed in chapter 4?

Through Crooks (the black guy)- he lives in the harness room where as the other ranch workers live in the bunk house. He's separated from the rest as in that time people were very racist. There are lot's of quotes you could use in the first couple of pages of chapter 4. You could also mention the animals that are his company and also I think there is something to do with book that suggests they have been read many times and that could be due to loneliness as he has nothing else to do. Another point could be that at one point all the 'weaker' characters are in the same room at once (Candy, Crooks, Lennie and Curley's wife) so they've been left out due to being different.( the other workers have gone into town Hope this helps!


How does Steinbeck present prejudice in 'Of Mice and Men' commenting on the impact that this has on the audience with particular reference to Chapter four and the character 'Crooks'?

Crooks is called N word not because Steinbeck and the other characters are racist, but to show the discrimination against black people during the 1930s. Without realising it, the characters seperate Crooks verbally by calling him this. Crooks is the only person who does not share a room with the other men; instead he has his own room, which he shares with the horses. This is because during 1930s America, segregation was still used. The audience will see that Crooks is purposely made lonely because of the colour of his skin. Crooks has a Civil Rights book because he wants to know his rights on the ranch. Steinbeck is showing that during the time period, black people did not have many rights and the little rights they did have mattered greatly to them. The fact that he also has a book shows he is educated, allowing the audience to see that although some black people during 1930s America were educated, they still had some of the worst jobs and worst living conditions. Also, because he has many books in his room, including a dictionary, it shows the reader that instead of hanging out with all the other ranch workers, he spends time alone reading. This amplifies his loneliness to the audience.
