He has his own room in the barn because he is prohibited from sharing a room with the white men. Candy, looking in awe at Crooks’ room, says “Must be nice to have a room all to yourself”’ Crooks answers with “And a manure pile under the window, Sure it’s swell” (82). This separation makes Crooks more isolated than any other characters because of his lack of human interaction, which causes him extreme loneliness. “I tell ya a guy gets too lonely and he gets sick” (80). This also causes him extreme loneliness.
Most Civilians and mental health professionals are like the psychologist in Hurt Locker-we don't really understand the irrational intensity of war and the difficulty adjusting to home life. Hurt Locker does a real justice in giving us an insider experience of combat and the journey home. Yet he cannot make the transition to a peaceful home life. He is shown transfixed in one of his rare moments of indecision as he confronts rows of similar breakfast cereals in a supermarket, a moment of stark contrast with his action in the battlefield. Active and experiential therapies, like meditation, martial arts-based movement, symbolic arts and drama, can capture the intensity of emotion and bonding and can lead to healing.
In the end you still get the same framework as you would from reading, but you also get to see how it physically affects them. Also when the “owners” are telling the angry tenants that the bank or the “monster” owns the land and that there’s nothing they can do about it you can really see how much the owners don’t care about these farmers in the movie. You can see how it doesn’t phase them at all it’s just another day at the office, so to speak, but what they don’t realize is that
In the movie “Pleasantville,” Mr. Johnson was a dull restaurant owner with mainly no purpose other than serving burgers. However, he made an impressive impact on his community when his life is changed and his routine life had no habits and he became and independent person. And with that gain of his independence, he becomes a bold artist and discovers his new passion for art. In “Pleasantville,” when Bud first arrives to the town of Pleasantville, we see that when he does not do his job correctly, Mr. Johnson, his boss cannot continue to do his part of the job. Because Mr. Johnson was so accustom to his repetitious sitcom life, he had no idea what to do when he was closing up his shop.
this arrogance by Birling is shown through his lack of care for his family and his priories are climbing the social ladder and stopping a public scandal. At the start of the play the inspector question Mr Birling on the death, Birling quickly responds violently and says “you weren’t asked to come here and talk to me about responsibility”, in the house Birling is advert and he is used to people respecting him and him talking down to other people, this way is challenged when the inspector arrives, and because Birling is arrogant and feels that because he was “lord mayor just two years ago” he is above the lower class and the working class(the inspector).

Also the fact that this book was written post 9/11 places a huge spotlight on Ray Singh, this makes the reader think that Ray Singh is used as a Symbol of all the immigrants and travellers in America. This highlights Ray as an outsider because it shows how he is trying to fit in, and if you are trying to fit into something, then you are clearly not a part of it. Sebold does this to demonstrate to the reader the feelings Ray has about his foreign roots and how he is trying to do something about them. However he is fighting a losing battle because he cannot change the colour of his skin. This makes Ray resent the majority of his school associates but out of respect and because he is a well-mannered, nice boy Ray puts these feelings of resentment to one side and doesn't make an issue of them.
It is a replication of the media's fantasy of the "real man" (tough guise). As the dominant male figure, he strives only for these few things but rarely succeeds in getting them because his wife makes most of the household decisions. During the entire episode, Ray is only seen doing housework once. Unfortunately, he is completely clueless as to what to do and Debbie has to take over. This clearly shows that even though Ray is the dominant one in the house, he is not required to do thing pertaining to housework and childcare.

Hale and Mrs. Peters the facts of the motive and their silence of the crime should be analyzed. They were in the Wright’s house to help their husband and the county attorney to solve the mystery but the men did not care about the women’s things, the trifles, they could not imagine that the little details were able to solve the case as when they were in the kitchen and the county attorney was asked if there was something important there and he answered with sarcasm “Nothing here but kitchen things” (67). "The big shot men in a small town" thought that if they were unable to find evidence of the crime, women were much less capable; moreover the observations made by Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters were a laughing stock for men, like when “county attorney picked up the apron. He laughed” and said “Oh, I guess they’re not very dangerous things the ladies have picked up.”(279) Besides of having their remarks ridiculed by men, the women imagined the miserable life of Minnie Foster because the old stove there was in the house, the neighbor did not used to see her, she used sing before become Mrs. Wright, because of the bird-cage they were able to imagine the lonesome life that she had. Sometimes, these findings were cry motives; even so Mr. Wright was known to be a “good man”, “He didn’t drink, and kept his words as well as most, (…), and paid his debts” but according to Mrs. Hale, “he was a hard man.” (202) and the broken door hinge could be another evidence
Crooks character shows the importance of companionship by depicting how people with companions act compared to people without. Crooks didn’t have any companions so he was independent, somewhat reserved, and petulant towards the other workers on the ranch. When Lennie entered his room, he said: “You go on get outta my room. I ain’t wanted in the bunkhouse, and you ain’t wanted in my room.” It shows that Crooks desired to have a companion but he wanted Lennie to leave because he wanted Lennie to feel the way he did. The importance of companionship is shown by different characters in Of Mice and Men.
