Question: Throughout the chapter, Crooks lets some company into his quarters, including Lennie and Candy, when he's not supposed to due to the face that Crooks is black and they're white. What would of happened if a fellow rancher or even the boss himself walked in and saw the combination of white and black? Would the boss fire anyone? If he did, who would be laid off: Crook or Lennie and Candy?
Prediction: Later into the chapter, Curley's wife happens to come in, beginning to baffle about her marriage with Curley, how it is so lonely and that she needs more company in her life more often. This makes me think that maybe, just maybe at some point, Curley's wife will either confront Curley and attempted to break off the marriage or she will just cheat on him with another rancher such as Slim.
Relate: From all of the events occurring the "Of Mice and Men," I have been continuing to enjoy the book. It seems as if George and Lennie are getting closer to their dream of owning some land, since it looks like they are gather more and more money as their days at Tyler ranch pass, though I have a slight feeling that Steinbeck will eventually use that theme that I discussed about in my previous chapter notes, about the "impossibility to the American dream," making Lennie and George's American dream suddenly go down the drain in some miraculous way.
