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>.

Wole Sooyinka in Death and the Kings horseman?<br><br><br>​
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Death and the King's Horseman isn't just about a clash of cultures—it's also about a clash of religions. Yoruba spirituality and Elesin's attempts to confront mortality and the afterlife are very much at the heart of the story, and Soyinka himself sees the spiritual dilemmas that the play presents as the key thing going on. The play definitely prompts us to think about different religions and customs and how they intersect and clash, dropping references to Islam and Christianity as well as lots of discussion of Yorubam religious practices.

Explanation:

By showing the richness of Yoruba traditions while simultaneously failing to show the British characters actively engaged in any kind of religion, Soyinka suggests the emptiness of British customs and religion.
