Of Mice and Men Part 4

Overall, I thought that this part was interesting. Crooks finally came in to the book (for a big part) so it helped me complete my tracker.I decided to do this blog on why Crooks was "torturing" Lennie. 

      I think that he did this because he wamted to see how Lennie would react if he thought that George was actually gone. But when Lennie started to take him seriously though, he stopped and said, "'I was just supposin'. George ain't hurt. he's alright. He'll be back all right.'" I think that when Lennie started to believe him Lennie got worried and that scared Crooks.

   If I were Lennie, I would be really scared that my friend from birth could be dead or hurt. If I were Crooks, I would be surprised that Lennie cared that much about what happened to George.

      I think that Crooks won't do this to Lennie again, but maybe he will do it to someone else. I think that Lennie will realize that he is really dependent on George and that if anything would ever happen to him, he would need to look out for himself.

     I think that this is an example of symbolism because George is kind of like Lennie's dad in that he looks after Lennie and Lennie is so dependant on him.

       What do you think? What would you do if you were Crooks / Lennie?
