Chapter four really revealed so much about Crooks. I felt so bad reading his stories and learning about his past, because it wasn't fair, and he didn't and doesn't deserve to live like he has and is. Lennie is a very curious person, and he could get in a lot of trouble like that. Crooks could have reacted differently but luckily, he was happy with the company. Crooks needs company sometimes and he never does get it. Like Curley's wife, Crooks doesn't get to talk to people just because he felt like it or anybody to hang out with in his free time. In the book, the level of racsim is very high, like when Curley's wife calls him a negro in another inappropriate word, but in the movie, there is less, and it focuses on Curley's wife being lonely and having no one to talk to. The movie missed a big part of Crooks's past and I think it's because seeing as there still is racsim, people wouldn't want to watch a movie about a black person, and rather have their typical Hollywood fantasy about the lives about the white men and women of that time. It was an informative chapter and lists many important details that ties this story together. I didn't quite get why Candy started talking about the rabbits infront of Crooks as Candy wasn't supposed to tell anybody! George doesn't trust them. Crooks never knew someone to get their own land, and I still think he won't in the near future!
