| Identify Crooks | Crooks is the black stable hand. He has apparently worked on this ranch for some time, judging from his accumulated possessions. |
| Lennie tells Crooks about the land. What is his reply at first? | Crooks tells Lennie that he is nuts. He says he’s seen hundreds of hands come and go with the same dream of having a piece of land, and none of them ever actually did get any land. “Nobody gets to haven, and nobody gets no land. It’s just in their head.” |
| What does Crooks want when he believes there might really be land? | He wants to join the men on the land and will work for free, for just being able to live there. |
| Why did Curley’s wife come to the barn? | She was looking for Curley, she said, but she actually came to talk to the men and find some company. |
| Why did Crooks change his mind after Curley’s wife left? | He realized that the dream could never come true for him. He was a Negro who had just been put in his place by a white woman, and this fact brought back the harsh reality of his life. |
