What reading level is Simon the Story of a Negro Slave in Brazil book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If one of these came into the neighborhood of the ship, discovery was cer- tain and all would be lost.
To this constant fear there came another matter of serious concern. A contagious disease had broken out among the negroes, who were packed so closely in the pen. Impure air, little water, and poor food, sorrow and care, were the causes, and it seized upon its vic- tims with deadly power, and swept them away in the course of a few days. The captain did not dare to leave them up on deck, because... he feared discovery, and down in the narrow pen death seemed certain to many.
This situation drove the captain beside himself. His humors were unbearable, and his irritability increased day by day. The most trivial mistake on the part of the sailors brought the most severe punishment.
"If a steamer comes along, I am lost ; but I would rather bury myself and my ship in the depths of the sea, than permit myself to be taken!" he often exclaimed, as he ran up and down the deck like a madman. Al- though a steamer was rare in those waters at that time, yet they appeared as the thing most to be dreaded by his guilty conscience.
