When Lennie tells crooks about the land in of mice and men what was crooks first reply?
Crooks' first reply to Lennie telling him about the land is skepticism, as he is not convinced that George and Lennie will actually be able to achieve their dream of owning a piece of land. He questions Lennie about the feasibility of their plan and whether they truly understand the obstacles they may face.
Why does Lennie get so upset at Crooks?
Croks likes talking to lennie because croks listens to lennie.
Why does crooks react this way to Lennie?
He's rude to him because he doesn't like people that are bigger than him "For a moment Crooks did not see him [Lennie], but on raising his eyes he stiffened and a scowl came on his face." Crooks stiffening shows that he feels a little threatened by Lennie's presence - he is becoming defensive and ready to react to any attack Lennie might start. The scowl on his face shows he is doesn't want Lennie there and is trying to ward him off by being uninviting. To me it also shows he doesn't want to be disturbed and just wants to be alone in his room, tending to his back and reading all his books, as this is what he is used to and has come to accept. This un-ordinary occurrence makes him suspicious as normally white men do not enter his room. "Crooks said sharply, 'You got no right to come in my room. This here's my room. Nobody got any right in here but me.'" This again shows he doesn't want Lennie there. Crooks shows distrust towards him.
What does stark reality mean?
Stark reality means the truth, without any softening or fudging or emotional overtones. People often like to obscure the truth with euphemisms or little white lies, but occasionally have to face the stark reality, the truth about things with all those comforting illusions and self-deceptions stripped away.
What is Steinbeck's purpose for crooks?
Crooks is a proud, embittered man - a victim of racism. The scene that takes place in his room illustrates several tendencies in the novel. For one thing, Lennie is able to win Crooks over despite (or, actually, by virtue of) his opacity; this allows the reader to see Lennie's appeal as a nonjudgmental, faithful companion. Also, when Crooks rouses Lennie's anger, we see more evidence of the dangerous rage that lurks beneath Lennie's placid exterior. Finally, the appearance of Candy allows Steinbeck to stage a sort of socialist fantasy, in which the downtrodden, disabled members of the farm contemplate a mild "uprising" of sorts. The appearance of Curley's wife, though, returns these men to the direness of their social situation. Thus the chapter functions almost as a microcosm for the novel as a whole, as we move from hope to hopelessness, with Curley's wife as a catalyst for trouble.
