Met up with Crooks


Dear Diary,


Another day of work, but while we working, we met up with crooks(The only black ranch-hand. Like Candy, he is crippled: his nickname refers to a crooked back resulting from being kicked by a horse. He sleeps segregated from the other workers, and is embittered from discrimination). He is the negro stable buck and had his bunk in the harness room and a little shed that leaned off the wall of the barn.


That was a bit of information there that I gave about him. Anyway, he likes to be alone. He has no friends as people dont really like him. He is also crippled on top of that. I noticed from far what he was trying to do. I felt soory for him but I told myself that I wont go to him yet. He was sitting on his bunk all alone till Lennie noiselessly appeared in the open door way.

From far, I could see that they were sorta argueing about something. Couldnt hear much but saw how the actions were like.


After afew hours, I heard Crooks talking about me to Lennie. He was saying some bad things about me to Lennie and made him frightened. Somehow rather, Candy came into the picture and started blabbering about what they were talking about... from far I could sense there was something going on... but I held on.


Anyway I couldnt be bothered to keep on spying on them.. and now I want to go and sleep. Its already late and I want to look for Lennie. I wonder where he is.

Bye!!!

Again, i like the picture in this one, i also like the way that you described how Crooks really is "the black ranch-hand" is a good way to describe him because that is what he is (:

This post was really nice! I like how 'George' makes statements about these people. You can tell he really knows but he still stays in his character and is quiet.
