I tell ya a guy gets too lonely an he gets sick" (Steinbeck, 13) Crooks is a black man that experiences isolation because the society in which he resides is racist.

In the epic of Beowulf, Beowulf makes many references to his fate. Fate, by definition, is a pagan belief.

.... their relationship was the one visit in which Jefferson told Mr. Wiggins that he wanted a gallon of ice cream, and that he never had enough ice cream in his whole life. At that point Jefferson confided something in Mr. Wiggins, something that I didn't see Jefferson doing often at all in this book. "I saw a slight smile come to his face, and it was not a bitter smile. Not bitter at all"; this is the first instance in which Jefferson breaks his somber barrier and shows emotions. At that point he became a man, not a hog. As far as the story tells, he never showed any sort of emotion before the shooting or after up until that point. A hog can't show emotions, but .....
