After Curley's wife left, Crooks changed his mind about the farm because he saw the possibility of achieving his dream of belonging to something meaningful and having a place of his own. He realized that the farm offered him a chance to escape his current life of loneliness and discrimination on the ranch.
Crooks originally wanted Curley's wife to leave because he was afraid of getting in trouble for talking to her. However, after she opened up to him about her own loneliness and struggles, he empathized with her and felt a shared connection through their mutual experiences of discrimination and ostracism on the ranch.
its full of vaseline
If this relates to Of Mice and Men, Lennie crushed it in the fight when he and George first arrived
It's because the guys that were left was Lennie, Candy, and Crooks. They all have disabilities and they're the ones that get picked on by the other guys. So she's basically saying they left the losers there.
He reacts with the knowledge that it wont work out because he has seen many men with a dream such as that and the dreams never come true. However, for a moment he asks to be able to care for a garden on the farm before he returns to his usual self and, once again, tells Lennie that the dream will never come true.
21 goats left
Curley's Wife represents the failure to achieve dreams in OMAM, so arguably once she's left Crooks' room he realises that he is destined to be treated in the way he is at the moment. As a result, he dismisses working on George & Lennie's farm as mere fantasy. This is just as well, as following the death of C'sW the dream of farm ownership never transpires so it could be seen as a metaphor for the domed nature of the dream about the farm
He has been isolated and abused for a long time at the ranch. Maybe he sees that Lennie, being fairly simple, will not judge him as inferior because of the colour of his skin. Crooks welcomes the company as he leads a very lonely life, but he tries to hide this. He is mean to Lennie when he first arrives, but he begins to soften. This meanness is his defence mechanism. He wants to have friendships but doesn't want to be rejected or disappointed, so he tries to keep people at a distance. He is even accepting of Candy coming into their conversation. Things only change when Curley's Wife comes in and starts ridiculing them. She reminds Crooks of his lowly status and that he has no rights due to his skin colour. This is when Crooks changes back to his mean unfriendly ways. Also, at this stage in the novel all the other men have gone into town drinking and looking for women. They have left Lennie, Crooks and Candy behind - they are not thought fit to go with them (Lennie is simple and might cause trouble, Crooks is black and therefore it is not acceptable for him to socialise with the men, and Candy would cramp their style). Maybe Crooks is glad that he is not the only one left behind, and feels sorry for Lennie also being left behind.
you go out of your farm turn left and over the bridge
Crooks offers to join Lennie and Candy in their dream of owning a piece of land and working for themselves in exchange for being allowed to work on that land with them. He wants to feel included and not left out due to his race and isolation on the ranch.
it is the oldest farm in Nj and is one of the few farms left in Bergen County!
Lennie has wandered into Crooks little room that is attached to the stable. Crooks is pretty much segregated because of his colour. He gets angry because his little hovel is all he has left as his space. Lennie, a white man, is intruding on it.
