What reading level is Reminiscences And Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He waited without moving a foot until the bull was almost upon him, the long sharp horns had almost pierced him, and then, with a quick, fierce thrust, Porthe buried the short sword forward of the bull's shoulder, so that it pierced the heart. The bull staggered, sank on its knees, then its hind legs seemed to crumple up under it, and after a few convulsive movements it fell over dead.
Most of the matadores or "espadas" tease the bull when he is dying. Porthe did not. A pair of gaily caparisone...d mules were harnessed to the dead bull. It and the butchered horses were dragged out, sand was scattered over the bloody places and a new and fresh bull was rushed into the arena.
There were six bulls killed that afternoon. Porthe killed two, a young fellow, somewhat of a novice, butchered two, and another matador, beautifully garbed in light blue, disposed of two.
The last matador was a Mexican, a "moreno" or "brown fellow," not very popular with the crowd at first, but he con- quered their applause by the skillful way in which he managed his capote and delivered his "escopada," or death stroke ; and he certainly saved the lives of more than one of his comrades by diverting the bull just as he was about to gore them.
