Crooks Loneliest

Curley’s wife, and so she just shut him up. To this, Crooks has nothing at all to say. This shows the effects of race and power in this time period. Since Curley’s wife has the power to pretty much destroy Crooks life, he can’t do anything. How others act to him also depends on his race because he is black, and during this time, black people are thought to be slaves and less than to white people. This gives the power to Curley’s wife to control Crook no matter what he does. Trying to fight that comes

a small piece of land and live peacefully until he dies as from this point he can only degenerate. Like candy, Crooks is an example of Steinbeck’s compassion. Crooks is not only a black man in a racially unbalanced world but he also has a physical disability. So from many views, Crooks could be seen as the most victimised character, only being treated equal by slim “Oh! Sure, crooks. I’ll come right out an’ put it on” although the other ranchers recognise him as a “nice fella” they have no compassion

that the right thing to do was let Lennie go, and the consequence Lennie would have if not killed by George. He Stayed beside George for moral support. Slim knew who’s gun he had in all, but agreed with George. For instance, in my literary graphic Crooks was to stay in the barn, this symbolizes, because he’s black,

I do not think the book did a good job on describing Curley. I think the second movie did the best rendering of Crooks. In the second movie it was very obvious that he had a crooked back.

The characters Crooks and Curley’s wife seem to be solitary, and the author explains the reasons for their loneliness. For example, in a part of the book we see Crooks asking Curley’s wife to go back to her house, before he and the rest of the guys get in trouble for being with her she said “Well, I ain’t giving you no trouble. Think i don’t like to talk to somebody ever’once in a while? Think I like to stick in that house alla time?” (Steinbeck 77). This shows that the boys try to stay away from

General Crook relied heavily on Chiricahuas turned into scouts since no white man could ever track the elusive Geronimo in his own land. Chiricahua scouts then spread rumors of a possible arrest of Geronimo, which then convinced the proud but, weary leader to turn him into authorities.

The attempted assimilation of a regionally nomadic people whose entire society spiritually and culturally is based upon ties to nature leads to an eventual violent reaction by a portion of the tribe, through propagation of fear and political pressure the entire band is taken into custody with prisoner of war status.

offer light comedy. “The Black Crook” was at first simply a melodrama by Charles M. Barras that retold the Faust story and borrowed liberally from other plays with similar plots and themes. William Wheatley, who was the manager of Niblo’s was concerned that the play would fail. The script was poorly written and the acting was not much better. Then something oddly magical happened. There was a theatre fire at the Academy of Music in New York. A French ballet

Born sometime around the 1820s near the Gila River along the border of what later would be known as Arizona and New Mexico, Geronimo, also named Goyaale, became known as a leader and motivator for his tribe. As a boy, he was a talented hunter often getting praise from the rest of his tribe. It is said that he ate the heart of the first animal he killed to ensure that he would always be successful hunter. Throughout his life, he was told that no one was his friend, except his arms and legs. “There

American Army Force only 10 days earlier. In mid June of 1876 General George Crook and approximately 1325 American soldiers, packers, miners and Indian allies moved north1. The intent was to get contingents of the Cheyenne, Sioux and Arapaho to move to reservations. History Gold had been discovered in the Black Hills of the Dakotas, and the American military intended to take it by force after a failed treaty negotiation.
