Crooks

In part 4 of  the book Of Mice and Men the character Crooks was further elaborated on. Crooks was a black stable buck and the only black person that was on the settlement. His room was very tidy indicating that he was a proud and aloof man because no one was around to see his room, therefore there was no need for it to be clean. Crooks was usually recluse and wanted people to keep their distance from him. Crooks was crippled by his bad back making him bent over to the left. His eyes lay deep in his head with great depth. His slender face was lined with deep black wrinkles. He had thin, pain-tightened lips which were lighter than is face. When Lennie had come into his room at first he had his guards up because he wasn't used to people being kind to him. Since he was black he was't welcomed in he bunkhouse, which made him very lonely. He came to the conclusion that the only reason that George is still traveling with Lennie is because Lennie is someone that can listen and help him. Crooks started to let Lennie into his comfort zone because needed and wanted someone to talk to about what has happened in his life. The reason why he wanted to talk to George because it makes him feel better when he is talking to a person. I feel that I am a lot like crooks because I also feel that talking to people make my problems seem smaller.
