What reading level is Hawaii, Past And Present book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The tourist knows at last that he is surely in the tropics, knows, too, if he has travelled far, that nowhere is there a more beautiful, peaceful scene. The ocean outside the reef is blue — the same blue that it has been for days, but darker, so deeply dyed that it looks almost opaque, until one gazes straight down and catches the twisted sun rays that are gleaming far below the surface. The reef makes a sharp line of white surf, and beyond it the wide shoals are pink and green and bufF, accord...ing to the nature of the sea-bottom and the angle of the light — a brilliant Oriental carpet along the shore. The mile or two of gently rising land between the beach and the spurs of the moun- tains is a mass of trees, the green line of them broken only by the roofs of the houses. This vegetation, a little monotonous in colour, as an artist would have made it to lead from the brilliance of the sea to the still more brilliant mountains, extends from the suburb of Waikiki, clinging about the foot of Diamond Head, past the city itself, westward, until the misty green of cane fields carries it insensibly into the still more misty, pale- bluish purple of the distant Waianae Mountains.
