Discrimination.
.
Discrimination is not just based on skin color, but also on age and gender. A book that shows this is John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, a story about two friends, that have a dream to live on there own farm, Lenny and George, who go to a farm where they see discrimination first hand. The victims of discrimination in this novel are: Crooks, a black stable buck; Curly's Wife, the farm owner's neglected daughter-in-law; and Candy, an old, disabled housekeeper. .
The most obvious form of discrimination is skin color. Crooks is discriminated because of his skin color. "They play cards in there, but I can't play because I'm black. They say I stink. "(pg. 34) This quote illustrates how the boys on the farm won't allow Crooks to play cards because he's black. They discriminate against him by having him live in a little shack across from the "bunkhouse. " Nobody ever really goes into his shack "You go on get outa my room. I ain't wanted in the bunkhouse "(pg. 33). This quote shows how he isn't allowed to live in the bunkhouse.
