His first real entrance appears on page 56 where Crooks wishes to speak with Slim
Because he is all alone and has no friends of his own... He wants his own companionship with someone on the ranch
Crooks talks to Lennie in "Of Mice and Men" because he is lonely and looking for someone to talk to. He sees Lennie as a fellow outcast and takes the opportunity to connect with him, expressing his own feelings and experiences as a black man living in a racist society.
George said this to Lennie in John Steinbeck's novel "Of Mice and Men." George is reassuring Lennie that he can trust him to keep their conversations private and not share their plans with others.
Crooks invites Lennie to stay and talk with him because he is lonely and enjoys having someone to converse with. He also senses that Lennie is a good listener and won't judge him for being a black man on the ranch. Additionally, Crooks sees an opportunity to exert some power and control over someone else, as he is typically marginalized and isolated on the ranch.
Crooks talks to Lennie, who has a mental disability, because he senses that Lennie is a good listener and won't judge him based on his race. Crooks is lonely and craves companionship, so he opens up to Lennie despite knowing that Lennie may not fully understand him.
Lennie went into Crooks' bunk because he wanted to get away from the chaos and noise in the main bunkhouse. He found Crooks' room peaceful and enjoyed the quiet there. Lennie was also drawn to Crooks' company because he was looking for someone to talk to and Crooks was the only one who would listen to him.
Crooks felt comfortable opening up to Lennie because he saw that Lennie's mental disability made him less judgmental and understanding of others' struggles. Additionally, Lennie's innocence and genuine curiosity made Crooks feel heard and valued, creating a sense of connection and trust between them.
One evening, Crooks sits down Lennie and gives him a talk. “‘Well s’pose, jus’ s’pose he don’t come back. What’ll you do then?’” (Steinbeck 72), Crooks says to Lennie about George. Lennie gets quite upset about this. Then Crooks assures him that George is ok, but then goes on to say “Maybe you can see know. You got George. You know he’s goin’ to come back…. S’pose you couldn’t go into the bunkhouse and play rummy ‘cause you was black” (Steinbeck 72). This is Crooks showing Lennie how lucky he is for having someone to always rely on and to always have his back.
Lennie and Candy forget their agreement not to talk about their dream farm when they visit Crooks. They end up discussing their plans for the farm in front of him, even though they had promised not to mention it.
in the brush by the river in the beginning of book is important because that is were we get the animal references and its not only were we meet George and Lennie but also when George shoots Lennie also crooks room is important as its were we see crooks and how he is lonely (there is alot to talk about crooks room) the bunk house is important as it shows the life of the workers.
Croks likes talking to lennie because croks listens to lennie.
he doesn't want to let lennie in his room because lennie is white and crooks, being black, isn't allowed in the white bunk house, so why should a white man be allowed in his room? he changes his mind because he wants someone to talk to and feels grateful for the company.
