Some of the men on the ranch, like Lennie and Candy, would accept him even though he is black. Crooks doesn't allow himself to make friends because he is afraid of rejection. This can be seen in how Crooks initially asked to work on Lennie's farm, and then changed his mind.

On the ranch, the white men discriminate against him because he is black. In this way, the ranch is a microcosm of the world at this time, because there was much discrimination towards African Americans at this time. ]]> 2019-01-16 15:55:21 UTC https://padlet.com/2000015689/iouajbng3vwp/wish/321289316 2000042800 https://padlet.com/2000015689/iouajbng3vwp/wish/321295911 Crooks was isolated from the other workers at the ranch because of his skin tone, he is black. This meant he had a completely separate bunker, that was of less quality than the bunker the whites were in. He was forced to stay alone at night, and he wasn't able to communicate with anyone else.]]> 2019-01-16 16:05:43 UTC https://padlet.com/2000015689/iouajbng3vwp/wish/321295911 2000042800 https://padlet.com/2000015689/iouajbng3vwp/wish/321303023 Crooks grew up in Northern California on a ranch owned by his father. Growing up on his chicken ranch, even though he was in California, he always knew he was different from others because of his skin color. He has always felt like an outsider, but now he feels alone.]]> 2019-01-16 16:16:31 UTC https://padlet.com/2000015689/iouajbng3vwp/wish/321303023 2000042800 https://padlet.com/2000015689/iouajbng3vwp/wish/321303338 Crooks's character is complex because his conflict is not simply society adversity, but also adversity that stems from his own self-worth. Crooks feels inferior to white people and therefore isolates himself, all while having a dream to be unified no matter his skin tone.]]> 2019-01-16 16:16:57 UTC https://padlet.com/2000015689/iouajbng3vwp/wish/321303338 2000042800 https://padlet.com/2000015689/iouajbng3vwp/wish/321303428 Crooks is aloof because of how he distances himself from the other men on the ranch. He pushes the belief that if "he isn't allowed to into the other bunks, no one should be allowed in his", when Lennie walks into the room.]]> 2019-01-16 16:17:03 UTC https://padlet.com/2000015689/iouajbng3vwp/wish/321303428 2000042800 https://padlet.com/2000015689/iouajbng3vwp/wish/321303636 Crooks feels that he doesn't have a good life. Therefore, even when an opportunity comes along, like working on George's farm, he doesn't allow himself to take advantage of it because he realizes that no matter what, he is inferior to the white women and men.]]> 2019-01-16 16:17:20 UTC https://padlet.com/2000015689/iouajbng3vwp/wish/321303636 2000042800 https://padlet.com/2000015689/iouajbng3vwp/wish/321303707 Crooks is resentful because he feels that he was cheated out of a better life by being black. His resentment towards people that have been able to develop relationships with others is evident in the manner in which he "suggests" to Lennie that George could suddenly leave him. ]]> 2019-01-16 16:17:27 UTC https://padlet.com/2000015689/iouajbng3vwp/wish/321303707 2000042800 https://padlet.com/2000015689/iouajbng3vwp/wish/321303867 Crooks is lonely because he is isolated from everyone else. Because his race is different from everyone around him, he doesn't have any friends and lives alone. We see Crooks loneliness when he is reassigned to work with the mules, and is forced to stay in a separate bunk than the whites. Crooks received no human contact.]]> 2019-01-16 16:17:39 UTC https://padlet.com/2000015689/iouajbng3vwp/wish/321303867 2000042800 https://padlet.com/2000015689/iouajbng3vwp/wish/321304026 Crooks is jealous of the other workers on the ranch because they have a sense of companionship with each other. 
We see this jealousy displayed when Crooks pushes the idea of George leaving onto Lennie. He wants a friendship like Lennie and George's, therefore he tries to separate them.]]> 2019-01-16 16:17:53 UTC https://padlet.com/2000015689/iouajbng3vwp/wish/321304026 2000042800 https://padlet.com/2000015689/iouajbng3vwp/wish/321321304 Crooks is an African American male. He has a crooked back, hence the name "Crooks". ]]> 2019-01-16 16:43:45 UTC https://padlet.com/2000015689/iouajbng3vwp/wish/321321304 2000015689 https://padlet.com/2000015689/iouajbng3vwp/wish/321508520 2019-01-17 01:02:29 UTC https://padlet.com/2000015689/iouajbng3vwp/wish/321508520 2000015689 https://padlet.com/2000015689/iouajbng3vwp/wish/321523418 2019-01-17 02:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/2000015689/iouajbng3vwp/wish/321523418 2000015689 https://padlet.com/2000015689/iouajbng3vwp/wish/321523774 2019-01-17 02:32:42 UTC https://padlet.com/2000015689/iouajbng3vwp/wish/321523774 2000015689 https://padlet.com/2000015689/iouajbng3vwp/wish/321524089 2019-01-17 02:34:37 UTC https://padlet.com/2000015689/iouajbng3vwp/wish/321524089
