Part 4 Question 1
In this section of the book the character Crooks was introduced. Crooks is an African-American with a seemingly mean disposition. This the Lennie and George's first interaction with this character and right off the bat Crooks creates the impression that he dislikes George and Lennie. We don't know much about Crooks' background, but it seems like he has dealt with something that has changed his life, and as a result he is in a bad mood. The author makes Crooks seem like he feels that he is being judged due to his race. Crooks is clearly discriminated in the farm and I think that this is the reason he acts the way he does. (He lives in a different house away from all the other whites)

In the chapter George is not introduced untill the vary end. As such Crooks can really not form an opinion on George. Further more, it is hard to say that he has experienced an unknown event seeing as he tells us his entire past. I do however, agree that he seems to dislike Lennie and be discriminated against.
