Isolated Workers
“Everybody needs a partner to stand right by their side,” said famous singer and actor Will Smith. He is saying that everybody needs somebody in this world. But for John Steinbeck in his novel Of Mice and Men that’s not the case. There are three isolated people: Crooks, Candy, and Curley’s Wife. They are isolated because they didn’t have the choice in the beginning nor in the end. Crooks is different from everybody on that ranch and he didn’t like it at all. For example, Crooks is a Black man that is alone and he isn’t like an average Black male. Second, he is handicap from his injury by a horse. Hence, he works alone because of his disability. Lastly, Crooks has experienced so much derogatory insults from people on the ranch.
