  Old, white whiskers (white facial hair), lost one of his hands in a farm accident.

-indirect characterization
Candy is more than just a ranch hand. He is the spirit, the life of the ranch. His character is crucial to the well being of all the other ranch hands. Even though he might feel useless because he is injured, he does his best to help in by doing small but meaningful actions. The unfortunate end of the useful working life of his character creates an unsentimental environment. ]]> 2018-08-30 13:43:08 UTC https://padlet.com/3603412/ih46iqdev91a/wish/276574697 3603412 https://padlet.com/3603412/ih46iqdev91a/wish/276577306 - direct characterization
African American, crooked spine (was kicked in the back by a horse). 

- indirect characterization
As a discriminated character, Crooks is envious of many things all the white ranch hands have. His jealousy is not explained by him being a bad person, which he is not, but it is explained by the fact that blacks were extremely degraded both verbally and physically by whites. Like many other characters, he experiences emotional bleakness, but for him it is worse because he is separated from other people. Since he is isolated from the whites, he is not able to make many friends. The fact that people often try to stay away from him because of the color of his skin, makes him pretty lonely.]]> 2018-08-30 13:48:19 UTC https://padlet.com/3603412/ih46iqdev91a/wish/276577306 3603412 https://padlet.com/3603412/ih46iqdev91a/wish/276583079 - direct characterization

Like other characters, Curley's wife experiences the loneliness of the environment. She has pity for herself so she does everything to make herself feel better. Her husband does not satisfy her emotional or physical needs, so she seeks solace from other men, even the ones at the bottom of the social hierarchy. She is type of character that likes being noticed, which she clearly is because of the sexual image the men give her.]]> 2018-08-30 14:00:09 UTC https://padlet.com/3603412/ih46iqdev91a/wish/276583079 3603412 https://padlet.com/3603412/ih46iqdev91a/wish/282297964 - direct characterisation
