Teacher essay summary
A response which offers many interesting and valid insights into Crooks's feelings and thoughts. There is a very good balance of quotations from the book and the monologue writer's own insights into Crooks's feelings and thoughts. The monologue is true to the writing style and spirit of the book. There is certainly a need to proof-read and to use more punctuation in order to make the points made, clearer. The use of paragraphs to break down some of the major points would benefit this piece. Some points also need developing, particularly the shared sense of loneliness between Crooks and Curley's wife.

Of Mice and Men
Character: Crooks
Loneliness is a disease. It eats away at people slowly, gradually tearing them limb
from limb. It is a virus that send some people insane, some turn senile, I am lonely no
friends, no one to talk to either. Crazy old world these days isn't it when even a black
Negro cannot have his own privacy in his own room well that's what I like to call it
my room. Maybe it happened to be a good thing that day the fact my privacy was
over ruled by a white, strong, tall disheartened lost and confused male or maybe it
was just pure ignorance. Either way I got to talk to someone well when I say talk to I
may as well have been talking to myself but nevermind he was human!!.
His name was Lennie he was a crazy bastard always talking about George this
great magnificent person who Lennie thought was God was going to let him tend the
rabbits on the land they planned to buy when I say planned
