Crooks Ben Comer & Gavin Millar

Appearance Crooks is the only black man on the ranch. He has a crooked back due to being kicked by a horse. He is a quiet person and keeps too himself so that the others don’t find fault with him.

Behaviour Crooks’ behaviour during this book was neutral because he never took sides and always tried to see the good in people around him. He keeps to himself because he doesn’t want anyone to have anything against him because he is the only nigger on the farm. He reads books which is unusual for someone like him too do. This shows he is an educated person but that the fact that he is black is stopping him from living up too his potential in life.

Key Sayings Throughout the book Crooks is only involved in a dialogue once or twice. The main one is with Lennie, Candy and Curley’s Wife in his room. Crooks is an educated man and finds fun within manipulating Lennies feelings by saying too him about how the dream won’t come true and about the possibility that George might not return from town. During this dialogue he says “if you… I’d come an’ lend a hand” This shows how he wants too get away from work and just live life in luxury.

Crooks’ Dream Crook’s dream in “Of Mice and Men” is to live and work for George and Lennie on their land. The dream is short lived because Curley’s wife threatens him in chapter four. Before she arrives he appears to not be dwelling on the fact that he is black and joins in with the conversation about the dream but when she threatens too lynch him it brings home the fact that he actually is black and this shatters his dream. “Well, you keep your place then, Nigger. I could get you strung up in a tree so easy it ain’t even funny”.

Crooks’ purpose in the book Crooks’ purpose in the book is to show how unfair black people got treated in the 1930’s due to racism and segregation, and how easily their dreams could have been crushed.
