- "had his bunk in the harness room; a little shed that leaned off the wall of the barn"(Steinbeck 67)

- " a range of medicine bottles"(Steinbeck 67)

- Quote 1: “Well, I got a right to have a light. You go on get outa my room. I ain’t wanted in the bunk house, and you ain’t wanted in my room.” (Steinbeck 68).
By saying this we can infer that Crooks asserts dominance over his room because he can't do that elsewhere on the farm.
- "I never knew till long later why he didn’t like that. But I know now" (Steinbeck 69).
We can infer from the bitter tone in this excerpt that Crooks has learnt of the discrimination towards people like himself.
- "Nobody never gets to heaven, and nobody
gets no land. It’s just in their head." (Steinbeck 70)
-
- Candy came in, but he was still embarrassed, “You got a nice cozy little place in here,” he said to Crooks. “Must be nice to have a room all to yourself this way.” (Steinbeck 70)
-
- "“You guys is just kiddin’ yourself. You’ll talk
about it a hell of a lot, but you won’t get no land" (Steinbeck 70)
-
- "Crooks could leave his things about, and
being a stable buck and a cripple"(Steinbeck 67)
-
- Crooks said sharply, “You got no right to come in my room. This here’s my room. Nobody got any right in here but me.” (Steinbeck 68)
Crooks values his relaxed time and dislikes having people disturb him in a place he considers a safe spot.
- "Well, I tell you, you all of you stink to me" (Steinbeck 68)
