Literature Circles Week 3- Summarizer




This week I am the Summarizer.

The chapter starts off with the author describing Crooks. He is in his room on a Saturday night when Lennie approaches him. Crooks acts in a mean manner and tries to dismiss Lennie but he goes to see his pup. Crooks later allows Lennie to stay for a while as they talk. Lennie tells Crooks about the rabbits there going to get on their ranch. Crooks thinks Lennie is joking and doesn’t believe they will ever get it. Crooks tells Lennie about his past but Lennie is only concerned about the pups. Crooks hypothesizes what will happen if George never comes back. This makes Lennie upset and he starts to cry just as Candy enters. Candy reassures Crooks that they will get the ranch. Crooks starts to believe they might get the ranch and suggests that he could join them. Curley’s wife enters and asks for Curley. Crooks and Candy get upset with her and tell her to go back to her room. She asks how Curley got his hand injured and they reply by explaining how he got it caught in a machine. She doesn’t believe them and tells Lennie that he did a good job in messing him up. George comes to the barn and takes Lennie back to their room.
