like a switch. Seen when Crooks is messing with him, telling him that George will never come back. Then we see how easily he’s talked down from his state of rage by being told that of course George is coming back. This chapter also gives us a more detailed profile of Crooks. How he has the room in the same barn as the horses, and there’s poop right outside of his window. How he thinks white people shouldn’t be allowed in his quarters because he isn’t allowed in theirs. The chapter shows us how…
