Of Mice and Men chapter 4

Crooks angers Lennie by supposing what idea?

• that Lennie is not smart
• that George doesn't really like Lennie
• that George is gambling all of their money away
• that George isn't coming back 

What is the reason that Steinbeck doesn't give Curly's wife a name?

• It is not important to the story

• She doesn't have a name

• The other characters don't know her name

• Women are inferior to men and they are considered property of men

Why don't most of the characters like Crooks?

• Because he is missing one of his hands and they don't like disabled people

• Because he is black and during this time, black people weren't considered equal

• Because he killed one of their friends

• They don't dislike him they actually like him

After Lennie, who is the next person to enter Groom's room?

• Curly

• Curly's wife

• George

• Candy

What is the main reason Crooks lives alone in the harness room?

• The harness room has a light bulb so he can read at night.

• He lost a bet in a horseshoe tournament.

• The other men don’t like him being in the bunk-house because he is black.

• He is too worried about the horses to be far from them.

Which answer most accurately describes how Curley’s wife found out that Lennie broke Curley’s hand?

• Crooks accidentally lets the information slip.

• Candy tells her if she doesn’t watch out, Lennie will break her hand too.

• Lennie answers her question honestly.

• She sees the bruises on Lennie’s face and puts it together.

Curley's wife asks  about what happened to Lennie's face after they won't talk about what happened to Curley's hand. He messes up by responding with what phrase?

• "I like beans with ketchup".
• "He got it caught in a machine"
• "I ain't supposed to talk to you."
• "He punched me first"

Why do the men avoid Curly's wife?

• Because she is wanted for murder

• Because she isn't nice

• Because they fear that Curly will beat them up if he catches them near her

• They don't avoid her, she avoids them

When Candy tells Crooks that what Curley’s wife said was wrong, Crooks replies, “It wasn’t nothing…You guys comin’ in and settin’ made me forget. What she says is true”. Which statement best summarizes what Crooks “forgot?”

• He had chores to do that didn’t get done.

• He already has a place to go when he can’t work at the ranch anymore.

• He doesn’t like being around people with disabilities.

• He will always be treated differently because of the color of his skin.

When Crooks asks Lennie why he is in the barn at night, Lennie states, “I come to see my pup”. Yet he stays in Crooks’ doorway, even after Crooks says he is not welcome and tells him to go back to the bunk-house. The most likely reason Lennie doesn’t leave is that…

• Lennie is hiding from Curley.

• Candy made Lennie angry by threatening to harm the rabbits.

• George is in town with the men, and Lennie is lonely.

• Crooks asked Lennie to help him treat a mule.
