What reading level is My Antonia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
After the fathers were outof debt, the daughters married the sons of neighbours--usually of likenationality--and the girls who once worked in Black Hawk kitchens areto-day managing big farms and fine families of their own; their childrenare better off than the children of the town women they used to serve.
I thought the attitude of the town people toward these girls verystupid. If I told my schoolmates that Lena Lingard's grandfather was aclergyman, and much respected in Norway, they looked at ...me blankly. Whatdid it matter? All foreigners were ignorant people who couldn't speakEnglish. There was not a man in Black Hawk who had the intelligence orcultivation, much less the personal distinction, of Antonia's father. Yet people saw no difference between her and the three Marys; they wereall Bohemians, all 'hired girls. ' I always knew I should live long enough to see my country girls comeinto their own, and I have. To-day the best that a harassed Black Hawkmerchant can hope for is to sell provisions and farm machinery andautomobiles to the rich farms where that first crop of stalwart Bohemianand Scandinavian girls are now the mistresses.
