OMAM 4

In section 4 of ONAM, we learned a lot more about Crooks. Crooks is African-American and is not allowed to come in the bunk house or play cards with the rest of the workers. Crooks is very smart and reads a lot. In section 4, Crooks scares Lennie by telling him that George was hurt and not coming back. Lennie argued that George would never leave him. Later Crooks admits that George was not hurt and was coming back to explain to him how he feels because no on treats Crooks with respect. Crooks waas explaining to Lennie how he wasn't aloud in the house, could not play cards with the other works, and does not have many friends there because he was black. Lennie was very scared, but then Crooks explained that he just wanted Lennie to feel how he felt. He probably thought Lennie would believe him because at the beginning of the chapter he kept calling Lennie nuts. We also met Curley's wife a little more. When Candy told Curley's wife that Curley hurt his hand in the machine, Curley's wife did not believe him at all. Then she asked who did it to him. She was entreating Candy to tell her who broke Culrey's hand. Curley's wife was even being rude to Crooks. At the end of the chapter Crooks started to like Lennie and he called Lennie a nice fella.
