Of Mice and Men see on Crooks character.Of Mice and Men essay=====================I am doing my essay on Crooks the Stable buck who is black, thenigger. I have chosen to do Crooks as I feel he is a outlinedcharacter, different to the rest so I thought it would be provoketo go into him with more detail.He has a crooked back, hence the bear on Crooks, he has a crooked back asa horse cavalry kicked him when he was younger.Stable buck means he tends the horses on the ranch, and this iswhere he sleeps. He is non allowed to sleep in the bunkhouse with therest of the ranch workers, as they are afeard(predicate) that they might catch adisease off him, so kind of he has to sleep in the barn with theanimals. He lives a vivification of solitude, being alone in the barn withno-one coming in to babble out to him, You got no right to come in myroom, I aint cute in the bunkhouse and you aint unavoidablenessed in here.Among his possessions, in his room he has some books, including a tatt erdemalion dictionary and a mauled copy of the California civil code for1905 This tells him his rights as a black man, so he obviously doesnot want to get out on the wrong side of the law, so he keeps to hislimits. Him having books suggests to us that he may have been welleducated as a child. When he was young boy he lived on a smallholdingwith his father, so he was probably tough with a bit of respect,however, now he is just a black man working on a ranch with a lot ofwhite men, and now he is treated with no respect at all, he is anoutcast which nobody wants to know, If I say something its just anigger talking. So from having people inclination him to no-one liking himat all is quite a big jump.The other ranch workers see him as entertainment, as you can easily take on a fight against him if you were put up to it, when the boss comesalong Crooks knows to get out of the way, The boss gives him hellwhen hes mad and he goes and finds something to do so he is notnoticed. So if the ranch workers see the boss having a go at him theymust think that it is right to push him around. At the time when thiswas set, black people were still seen as an inferior induce to whites.
