Reply to "Reading and Writing Assignments for July 21 20th Class"

I like very much that line "He saw his innocence." I think at some point in the scene, that is true.  I like, too, that you realized how much the racism directed against Crooks influenced his behavior with Lennie.  That is one of Steinbeck's major points in the scene between the two men, that Crooks, who has always been treated badly, suddenly feels he has power over a white man.  

You have left out the part about how Crooks verbally tortures Lennie and I am wondering why. I will send you an e-mail about the assignment, and perhaps via e-mail, we can discuss why you don't mention that aspect of Crooks's response to Lennie. By the way, I am impressed at how well you use the apostrophe to express possession; Crooks's is correct. But many Americans would get that wrong. I am impressed that you did not.
