Summary:
In chapter 4 the all the boys were away at a bar except for Lennie, Candy, and Crooks. They all choose to stay on the ranch. Crooks was in his bedroom minding his own businesses. Until Lennie comes in standing at the door looking at Crooks. When Crooks notices he says to Lennie what are you doing here? A white man doesn't come into a Negro’s bedroom. He starts exclaiming how Lennie should be at the bunkhouse not here, because they can get into serious trouble. Lennie ignores him and says that he came here, because he saw a light turned on and wanted to see what was here. He was on his way to pet the pups and stumbled on over here. Crooks still doesn't like this, but let's Lennie in. Crooks then starts asking Lennie a bunch coalfield questions like why does he follow around George? What would Lennie do if George disappeared? And does he understand everything George says. Lennie gets mad thinking that George is dead, because Crooks is asking all these question. Lennie cools off and starts talking about the rabbits that George. Then Candy comes in and he too starts talking about the rabbits and what they can do. Then Curley's wife comes in and asks if they seen Curley. They don't tell her anything about what happened earlier that day, but she seemed to know. Curley's wife then starts making fun of these guys. Saying how she has nothing better to do then to hang out with a Negro, a dum-dum, and an o'l sheep. The guys then tell her to leave, because they don't want any trouble. She then hears the rest of the gang coming and she quickly leaves hoping no one will see her. George comes into the barn looking for them and they quickly scurry off to the bunk house.

Connections:
I can relate to Lennie being alone on the
ranch not having anything to do, because he was left
behind. So, he went over to Crooks room and started to get to know him and talk
to him. In the 7th grade I was in Language arts class and the teachers had us
pair up with a partner. I noticed that this girl was just sitting there having
no partner. She was a quite girl didn't seem to have that many friends in this
class. So, I approached her and asked her to be my partner. She agreed and we
both started to work together. After a while, we broke the ice and she was
funny and kind of talkative. From there in she would be my friend and I would
always partner up with her and talk with her and we would always have good
laughs.
Predictions:
I predict that in the next chapter Crooks will
get along better with Lennie and Candy. They will become good friends that
Crooks will ask them if when they have this house that if he can move in with
them. “You guys is just kiddin' yourself. You'll talk about it a lot, but you
won't get no land." (Steinbeck 75.) I believe that Crooks thinks it is
impossible for a men like them from the lower working class to own land. But,
he will soon get sweet talked into wanting to help Lennie, George, and Candy
into getting that land. He will dream so high about owning a farm that he too
will want to get a piece of land and be free from being segregated in
this ranch.
