The others mainly wore blue jeans and a short denim jacket, which can represent a lower status. (Steinbeck 25)]]> 2018-10-23 12:03:22 UTC https://padlet.com/2022bcratty/n1p5n9hz3dm2/wish/295882200 2022bcratty https://padlet.com/2022bcratty/n1p5n9hz3dm2/wish/295883043 Slim has power at the ranch because he stands up for himself without fear. Also, he is kind and friendly towards others, causing him to be appealing to everyone. 
For example, Slim is understanding of Lennie when he says, "He ain't mean, I can tell a mean guy a mile off," (Steinbeck 42). ]]> 2018-10-23 12:05:46 UTC https://padlet.com/2022bcratty/n1p5n9hz3dm2/wish/295883043 2022cdefrancesco https://padlet.com/2022bcratty/n1p5n9hz3dm2/wish/295883378 Crooks  is described as "negro" in the book a lot, and it brings out the racism in the book when the author describes crooks's "room", (the stables) his personality, and the way his clothes are different and may show less power than Curley or the Boss. "His shirt was out of his jeans in the back. Etc."

She has to act the way she does to follow Curley's set of standards, but she has gotten angry over people mistreating her. Just because she's a woman doesn't mean people can't talk to her; she has feelings too.
