Crooks teases Lennie about his lack of self-reliance; he tauntingly asks Lennie what he would do if George were injured. Unable to think hypothetically, Lennie thinks that George is actually under threat. With some difficulty, Crooks calms Lennie down and takes on a kindlier demeanor. His sour attitude remains, however, as he tells Lennie that his dreams of owning a farm with rabbits is unlikely to amount to anything tangible.
The tone of "In Another Country" is sanguine, or hopeful. The speaker of the story feels rather optimistic, despite all the pain and suffering around him. Even during the war, the speaker notices the electric lights that come on along the streets in winter as well as the snow on the foxes’ fur as the wind blows their tails. He also remarks that the hospital, a place filled with pain and injured people, is old and beautiful. When the speaker sees the major’s hand, he thinks it looks like a baby’s hand. These appreciative reflections during a war suggest that the speaker is hopeful. The speaker’s tone, then, lets readers see the war in a less gruesome light.
