The book mice and men

Well, I'm just done with the 4th section/chapter of the book we're reading; "Of Mice And Men". It's an interesting book, so far anyway, with caracthers you can relate to. Regarding the 4th section, it all takes place in Crooks' bedroom(Crooks is the black stable buck). Lennie visits him, and they start talking. The whole sequence is really interesting, as Crooks points out a real problem.
