According to the story “not a dog would bark at him throughout the neighborhood” (457.) Although Rip is continually criticized and chastised by his wife for his many faults the women of the town take pity on poor Rip and repeatdly side with him when gossiping about his marriage relationship with Dame Van Winkle. Rip certainly has his flaws, but he is genuinely liked rather than ridiculed by the other villagers. Rip Van Winkle is helpful to his neighbors. Although Rip neglects his own fields, barn, and the general upkeep of his own property, he is always ready and willing to assist a neighbor who may be in need.
The way he has been treated and brought up makes him who he is today and how he relates to other people, especially white skinned people. Crooks, first of all, is the stable hand who works with the ranch horses. Along with Candy, Crooks is a character used by Steinbeck to show the effects of discrimination. This time the discrimination is based on race, and Crooks is not allowed in the bunkhouse with the white ranch hands, therefore he has his own place in the barn with the ranch animals, and he is treated as such. Crooks is a man, supposedly young but disabled, that likes books and keeps his small room neat, but has been so beaten down by loneliness and prejudicial treatment of that he is now suspicious of any kindness he receives.

Augustine is a man against slavery, but too intelligent to openly oppose it, instead choosing to let his slaves run freely and do whatever they please, within reason. Tom is bought as a man who works at the stable,
In To a God Unknown, Steinbeck uses symbolism to highlight the change in Joseph, a man who just bought his own farm and fell in love with the land. However, even though Steinbeck goes about each book in different ways, they all follow the same organized three step process to bring out a common theme. In these three books, Steinbeck goes about a three step process in order to bring out a major change in the character while showing aspects of the human condition along his journey. The first step is that a major change occurs in the character’s life. The second step is that the character is faced with a devastating problem as a result of this change.
Book is briefly accepted by the Amish community during the barn raising scene and is the only time within the film that he is the same as the Amish men. The law angle shot of the Amish men passing the saw to Book signifies the cooperation among the men, regardless of their culture. The existence of the uplifting music without any dialogue highlights the unionism between the Amish and John Book. However, at the end of the day, the fact that Book couldn’t participate in the chanting of the victorious song with the Amish men implies that ultimately he does not fit in. Also, in this scene Books gaze at the barn as it is being built exemplifies a new experience that Book has never witnessed in the English world.
How does Steinbeck present Crooks and how does Steinbeck use Crooks to show attitudes towards black people? Steinbeck presents Crooks as an intelligent person who is proud of himself and speaks up for himself and he is also presented to be an outcast from others on the ranch and he also has little hope for things. He seems to be intelligent because the passage says that he has a “tattered dictionary and a mauled copy of the California civil code for 1905” and this suggests that he’s well educated and knows how to read and write properly whereas the other ranch members wouldn’t because they wouldn’t have got a proper education. He also has some magazines and a few “dirty books” which could be interpreted as sexual magazines and he has them because he gets very lonely in his isolated room. In this passage he seems to be quite a self-standing person because he owns a copy of the California civil code for 1905 so he knows what rights he has out of the few that black people had and when Lennie came into his room he was really defensive over his rights of having his room and that no one else had a right to come in accept him.
His longing for company wins over and he then invites Lennie to accompany him (68). Misery loves company, and with Lennie, the only human that does not see the color of Crooks’ skin, Crooks begins to feel comfortable and describes the difficulties of discrimination on the ranch. Unlike Lennie, Crooks

Firstly, we can see the very ambiguous suggestion of the title ‘Follower’. This could show that now the young boy in this poem follows his father literally and metaphorically. The main story of this poem shows how Heaney was a young boy and was allowed to go with his father to work daily. The purpose of this was to mention when he was around his father as he just followed him around the farm with some desperation to learn and eventually take over the role of his father, with Heaney’s choice in the fifth stanza ; ‘I wanted to grow up and plough’. He believes that by imitating his father’s actions on the farm will enable him to soon take over the role, although he learns how skilled the work is.
