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. General Crook had since resigned and his replacement, General Nelson Miles, finally captured the great Geronimo (Davis)

Since George was watching this whole thing, he knows that Lennie didn’t do anything wrong, but that doesn't occur to Lennie. He still wants confirmation from George that he is still in the clear. From the question that Lennie asks about the rabbits, it can be inferred that he is a nice guy. Everything he does is
“They left all the weak ones here” In section 4 of the novel “of mice and men”, George and the ranchers have left the “weak ones” at the ranch and gone into town. Although Curley’s wife is the one who refers to them as the “weak ones”, she herself is included in this group.

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 book and the two movies all did a good job of showing Crooks's loneliness. The incident in Weed was portrayed differently in the book and the two movies.

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.

Chapter 3 begins with Slim and George coming into the bunkhouse after a day's work. Slim had agreed to give Lennie one of his new born pups, and George thanks him, explaining that although Lennie lacks intelligence, his intentions are not harmful. Slim appreciates George’s compassion and friendship with Lennie, for he respects this rare occurrence of friendship among men. Within this conversation, Steinbeck further establishes George and Lennie’s relationship by having George tell a story of the two when
