Chapter Four: the Stable-Buck
Predict:
Imagine:
Crooks room that he made up in the spare stall in the barn is probably as clean as he can get it, yet still the floor is strewn with hay and other fodder bits. Crooks has more keepsakes than everyone else on the farm, for the fact that he is one of the longest employed there. He has shoes, books, and other assorted items that he's collected.
Clarify:
It seems that Crooks can see through the facade that George had been spinning around himself and Lennie. Crooks knows that they aren't related, and keeps asking what Lennie would do if George went into town and never returned to him. Crooks knows what most white people think about him, how he's just a black man with a old back, and knows nothing about the world. Yet he's actually very smart, and can pick apart any situation in front of him.
Try:
Use:
I feel like that act that Crooks is putting is often put on by alot of people in this day and age. That people are receding to somewhere or to something that makes them feel safe. And even though they put off the feeling that they don't want people to mess with the, it's the one thing they crave.
Review:
We learn that Crooks is actually a very smart man, and knows how to ask the questions to rile someone up almost into a fit of rage. He also says that Lennie, George and Candy won't have enough money to start a rabbit farm dude to the fact that George went into town to spend the money on some women at the saloon. Curley's wife also comes around looking for all the workers, and tells Crooks to stand down if he doesn't want to get hanged, and also accuses Lennie and Candy of knowing what happened to her husband, and finally leaves when Candy mentions that he heard the gates closing.
- This Chapter will probably give us more insight of who Crooks is, other than just being the black stable-buck. Hopefully seeing him interact with George or Lennie.
- Crooks will probably telling Lennie or George something that'll rub them the wrong way, or say something that he shouldn't have.

Try:
- Why would Crooks be asking Lennie all these questions in the first place, does he know something that we don't right now?
- Why does everyone doubt Lennie when he says that he and George are going to own a rabbit farm?
- Why does Curley's wife always seem to show up at the most worst time,and always accusing the workers of something they may not have done?
