What reading level is Tahiti book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" I, Tihoti, one who, take me in the right time and place, am as well dressed as any policeman in Polynesia, had been called a savage by the Brigadier of Taravao ; by a man with a name like a comic opera ; a gig-driving parasite. . . . Let them mend their roads then !
And yet I had perhaps made concessions to the exigencies of natural life which I should not easily have foreseen myself making. . . . This poor, benighted gendarme was but a single crank in a machine of government.
A vile, ineffic...ient government, however, impoverishing the island and incapable even of bridging its rivers. If the island had belonged to the British. ... Ah ! there were worse things than inefficiency.
All my bitterness passed. I took a notebook from the roll of my shirt-sleeve and quickly wrote the following dedica- tion of the book which at that moment I first conceived the idea of writing : A 1' administration fran9aise de Tahiti qui en empochant elle-meme toutes les richesses de 1'ile ote aux indigenes les moyens de luxe qui auraient pu gater les restes de leur simplicite antique et qui en mal remplissant la seule tache qu'elle se donne un peu 1'air d'entreprendre tient loin de ce petit pays charmant le pire ennemi de la poesie L'AUTOMOBILE ce petit volume est respectueusement dedie.
