We finally get to know Crooks. What stood out to you or surprised you about him? With what intentions do you think Steinbeck deliberately characterized him?
I am surprised about Crooks for many reasons. When Lennie first walked in, Crooks said that he wasn’t welcomed, and that he wasn’t allowed in. After some talking Crooks said that he might as well come in. This surprised me because at first Crooks seemed very particular and harsh, but then he loosened up a little. I think this is a hard thing to do sometimes, especially what you are going through hard times like Crooks was. He wasn’t allowed in the place where Cand, Lennie George, etc. stayed, so he wouldn’t let them in. I think because of letting him in, Crooks began to like Lennie, but he did try to trick him. I think Crooks is a nice character, but he can be deceitful at times.
