Everyone is unique in their own way. No one is the same because everyone has a mind of their own. Also, not everyone is and tall, or do have the same taste in clothes or interests. Nobody has the right to judge anyone else except themselves though the main issue that was a problem was discrimination against blacks. If Steinbeck were to write __Of Mice and Men in 2010,__ he would use the same issue as illustrated by a protest that occurred in the novella, __Of Mice and Men__, as well as evidence of actions that are still in effect today just in a different manner.

John Steinbeck would use the issue discrimination against blacks, if he were going to write, __Of Mice and Men In 2010,__ because discrimination is a huge deal that effects For example, “I ain’t wanted in the bunk house, cause I’m black”(68). Crooks is black and just about everyone hate him or either want no part around crooks. Lennie and Candy, were the only two that didn’t care what color or how Crooks looked. Crooks spent most of the time reading or keeping to himselfdue to discrimination.

In __Of Mice and Men__, Steinbeck protested discrimination against blacks. “ Listen Nigger, you know what I can do to you if you open your trap?”(80). “I could get you strung up on a tree so easy it ain’t even funny”(81). Crooks just wanted Curley’s wife to leave his room and she threatened him just because he’s black. Crooks is just like everyone else, trying to work to make a living. No one should treat each other anyway just because of their skin color.

In toady’s society, discrimination against blacks is still evident even though the Civil Rights Act was passed and signed in 1964. Most people d not realize the issue because more than likely they don’t care. For example, “ Candy seemed embarrassed”,” I don’t know course if ya want me to” (75). Candy was confused, he didn’t want to go inside the room. Only because Lennnie was in the room that might have had an influence on Candy’s decision to enter the room.

So if John were to write another novella about discrimination against blacks it would be, because it is still in effect today. As well there are some protests still going on, it just is not that big of a deal to many citizens today. Everyone needs to be respectful in every way to one another, because no one would want to be treated unfair.
