"Up to this point," means through chapter four, so you can
probably use anything from chapters 1-4, although you probably want to use mostly
details from chapter four.
Chapter four takes place in
Crooks' room. You have Crooks, who appears sympathetic because of the prejudice and
segregation he suffers from. He is also sympathetic because of his reaction to the
dream of owning their own place that he hears about from
Lennie.
Lennie, of course, is also presented
sympathetically. He, one could say, is not smart enough to be influenced by society, so
he talks to Crooks like an equal.
Candy, too, is
sympathetic. He, too, has a marginal place in society and dreams of something
better.
All three of these characters are misfits,
isolated in one way or another from society. Any of them are characters that you could
like.
