In part for in Of Mice And Men, we get introduced to Crooks, an African American man who works on the ranch and is seperated from the rest of the men due to his skin color. He has his own room away from the men and Lennie tries to enter it during chapter four. At first, he was mad about it becuase he wanted his own space, but after Lennie presses, Crooks gives in and is more happy to have someone to talk to. In the quote- "Crooks could not hide his pleasure with anger" (75), it shows how happy Crooks was to have people to talk too. Even though Candy and Lennie were both white, Crooks needed to interact with another human.
