What reading level is A West Pointer in the Land of the Mikado book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We longed for the time when we could more intelligently appreciate so rare an occasion.
The non- Japanese residents of Yokohama, — mission- ary and community people, — spent a couple of evenings very pleasantly during the winter in a literary and musi- cal way. In the spring, shortly before we left for the north, we joined in a genuine, old-fashioned picnic to Tomioka, a little village on the bay near Yokohama. My powers of description fail me as I think of that happy day. Such singing! Such la...ughing over stale jokes! Such delicious luncheon ! Such athletic and other stunts ! The West- Pointer sang (?) in a way all his own, — ac- companying himself on a broomstick, — the famous West Point ditty, " Nigger Jim. " I recall it imperfectly : " Oh, I'se de noted culud cadet And from Dixie's land I come, Where I used to hoe de cotton all de day— " I'se kicked and cuffed and swore at, And there ain't no help foh it, And I marches in de reah rank by request ! " We demonstrated our right to belong to the missionary brigade, as the faculty for fun and a keen sense of humor are considered prime qualifications of the efficient mis- sionary.
