In the book, "Of Mice and Men", there is a character named Crooks. Crooks is treated like an outsider all because of the color of his skin. The other men won't let him play cards or even let him sleep in the barn with them.
I understand how he feels because I have also been treated like an outsider. As most people know, I'm pretty quiet in class and keep to myself. This one time I truely felt left out of everything. I was in class and we were told to find a group to do a project in. I knew no one in the entire class, so I just picked a random group and asked if I could join and I did. The whole time we were supposed to be working, not once did anyone ask me for help, advice, or an idea. It was like I wasn't even there.. Although of course, the other group members were all chatty and giving their ideas while I just sat there. After the group was finished, I just simply left and didn't say a word. I decided right then and there, I would never work with them ever again and I would simply work alone. Even after that, I never talked to anyone who was in the group. It was absolutely horrible..
