This offends John because he compares himself to Romeo (which explains why he is annoying) and Lenina to Juliet (which explains the stupidity). Also, he takes his Shakespeare very seriously. I think that John will, like Romeo, do something really idiotic to gain Lenina’s love. Perhaps by jumping off a building, (hopefully). Maybe he is going to profess his love in front of all the workers at the Centre, and then Lenina will be really happy, but also embarrassed because an “uncivilized” person likes her.
Contemporary position of African Americans in society After the civil rights movement, the African Americans have gained more representation and equality in society. However, in some communities their social status still needs improving. For some African American students, access to higher education is difficult to attain because of their background, unable to pay for college or live in a neighbourhoods with no schools. Because of some inequality being between the black and the white, some find comfort for their troubles by joining crime gangs.

This creates a permanent sense of worry, for if Tom makes one wrong move, he is dead.

These layers of suspense greatly add in looking into Tom’s head and understanding if Tom can comprehends the peril he put himself into.
He could do many crazy things just to take revenge of the society. However, the ending of the story was surprising me. He is an imperturbable person. He found his own strategies that he believes make him less threatening such as, “Move about with care; give a wide berth to nervous people on subway platforms during the wee hours” or “have been calm” when he has been pulled over by the police. And in the comedy tone, he shows the way he acts when he walks on the late-evening constitutionals along streets less traveled by: whistling classical music.

‘Several books including a dictionary and the Californian civil code’ I feel that the books could prove to us as a reader that Crooks’ is an intelligent character. The fact that Crooks has his own room is important as it links to the theme of loneliness. This is significant to us as it shows us the little power Crooks has over his life. We know that when the other guys were playing cards, Crooks could not join them because ‘he’s black’. Perhaps we could link this to what George says about ‘a guy goes nuts without somebody’.
He has published works ranging from various subjects such as racism to salvation. He communicates mostly to the African-American audience but all races can relate in one way or another.
