Hey Julianna,

While reading your post I agree with you that another theme Crooks portrayed was bravado because as you said, “At first Crooks thinks that Lennie wants to come in and bother him because he is Black but after he realizes Lennie wants to pet the puppies, he lets him in but is still very cautious. He acts like he wants to be left alone but he really does like having the company of other people”.

I agree with you that he treasures his job and doesn’t want to lose it, but currently doesn’t love his job on the farm. I agree with you that he seems like a quiet guy, who just wants to do his job. But he does seem to be a conflicted man, who stands up for what he believes. Crooks showed that when he had the argument with Curley’s wife.
