I am about to take my igcse exam, could you please pose an example essay based upon the two questions:
-What is Crooks’s importance in the novel
-Discuss the role of Candy
I tend not to write model essays to avoid plagiarism, however I have written about Crooks several times which should help you. I’ve not written on Candy as such, though he appears in other areas -notably articles on isolation/loneliness/power and also on his role as gatekeeper of the ranch.
