What reading level is Korean Sketches book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He introduced himself to the chief secretary and told him it was quite a misunderstanding, that we had not come to declare war, but purely on an errand of peace. I had now liberty to write, and the Korean New Year 173 secretary was much impressed at seeing me taking notes; for the ability to write is the summum lonum of a Korean gentleman's ex- istence. He of course reasoned from this that I was not a barbarian, but a distinguished sub- ject for entertainment, and so he provided an elaborate Ne...w Year's spread, and came with his friends to help enjoy it ; while the governor, on the secretary's recommendation I know, added a present of dates and persimmons.
The short man with a very red nose had, as Koreans say, won face tremendously, for the refugees he sheltered had suddenly been ele- vated to the position of public guests. He became quite jubilant, while, if not the X-rays, the extraordinary rays that lit up his coun- tenance beamed with more spirit than ever.
There is a Korean ceremony of watching out the Old Year ; so to do us honor the company remained the greater part of the night, passing compliments, and asking questions about our customs and beliefs.
