You could also find outside sources, but choose wisely - no Sparknotes (they do they thinking for you), and no student-produced work (not always good evidence). en-us 2016-11-04 13:19:47 UTC 2017-05-17 03:30:18 UTC hello@padlet.com virginia_vrentzos https://padlet.com/virginia_vrentzos/2ybja8kgiebg/wish/135361809 2016-11-04 13:19:47 UTC https://padlet.com/virginia_vrentzos/2ybja8kgiebg/wish/135361809 virginia_vrentzos https://padlet.com/virginia_vrentzos/2ybja8kgiebg/wish/135361813 2016-11-04 13:19:47 UTC https://padlet.com/virginia_vrentzos/2ybja8kgiebg/wish/135361813 virginia_vrentzos https://padlet.com/virginia_vrentzos/2ybja8kgiebg/wish/135361814 2016-11-04 13:19:47 UTC https://padlet.com/virginia_vrentzos/2ybja8kgiebg/wish/135361814 virginia_vrentzos https://padlet.com/virginia_vrentzos/2ybja8kgiebg/wish/135361815 2016-11-04 13:19:47 UTC https://padlet.com/virginia_vrentzos/2ybja8kgiebg/wish/135361815 https://padlet.com/virginia_vrentzos/2ybja8kgiebg/wish/135381886 "His body was bent over to the left by his crooked spine, and his eyes layed deep in his head, and because of their depth seemed to glitter with intensity. His lean face was lined with deep black wrinkles, and he had thin, pain tightened lips which were lighter than his face" (Steinbeck, p. 67).

He has patient eyes and a prideful look about him.

"This is just a nigger talkin', an' a busted nigger. So it don't mean nothing, see?" (Steinbeck, p. 71) 
- With everyone looking at him as unimportant and 'inhuman' he's discluded and separated in order to complete the disired tasks that are required of him. Coming to the point of him feeling lonesome without the support or communication of others.  
'Spose you didn't have nobody. S'pose you couldn't go into the bunk house and play rummy 'cause you was black. How'd you like that? S'pose you had to sit out there and read books. Sure you could play horseshoes till it got dark, but then you got to read books. Book's ain't no good. A guy needs somebody-to be near him." He whined, "A guy goes nuts if he ain't got nobody. Don't make no difference who the guy is, long he's with you I tell ya." (Steinbeck, p. 72)

He doesn't hold himself as something important of of value. He lets people treat him like a tool and nothing more.  ]]> 2016-11-04 14:19:41 UTC https://padlet.com/virginia_vrentzos/2ybja8kgiebg/wish/135387753 https://padlet.com/virginia_vrentzos/2ybja8kgiebg/wish/135394832 Crooks was oppressed, however still didn't want anything bad to happen to them, when the well snapped]]> 2016-11-04 14:36:02 UTC https://padlet.com/virginia_vrentzos/2ybja8kgiebg/wish/135394832
