Answer:
I disagree with the statement that "Crooks is NOT a victim of racism". This is because, the possession of books, furniture, and having his own room doesn't give him the freedom to mingle with the other ranch hands. Rather, they keep him alone so that he won't be among them, and they won't have to be near him.
Explanation:
Crooks is the black stable buck in John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men". He lives alone in the stable and not among the other ranch hands who stay in the bunkhouse.
The statement that "Crooks . . . is NOT a victim of racism" is not true. According to me, even with all the personal possessions (own room, furniture, and books), his living quarter is in the stable, with the animals and not with other human beings in the bunkhouse. His statement to Lennie <em>"I ain't wanted in the bunkhouse, and you ain't wanted in my room</em>" is evidence of how class/ race disparity is there even among the workers. He also added <em>"They play cards in there, but I can't play because I'm black. They say I stink."</em> This clearly shows the division among the workers, though they are all under Curley.
Therefore, it is <u>wrong to say that Crooks is NOT a victim of racism</u>.
Answer and Explanation:
Subject: Sleepover
Hi Amirul,
It is so nice to hear from you! Yes, I will be there for the sleepover, and I'll make sure to bring my board games and comic books. I can't wait to see you and our friends. Will you please write to me letting me know the date and time?
I can imagine how you feel. Sudden changes like this one are never easy. But give it some time. You may soon realise there are several advantages to living in a condo. For instance, it is much safer than a house. Also, you will get to meet new people and make new friends.
See you soon!
Rajan
