What reading level is The Boston Massacre book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Church, the only names mentioned were those of the youth, Mavericis, and of C:.ldwell — the only persons among those fatally wounded who were believed to b3 entirely innocent.
In the 4th oration, indeed (1774) Ha,ncock appeals to the "bloody butchers" to know if the shaaes of the departed five (mentioned bj' name, with Maverick at the head of the list) do not haunt them in the miJst of their "debauch- eries," — inflated language which would be ridiculous if taken literally ; and to give some ti...nge of sincerity to his hackneyed phrases he calls attention to tne pitiable condition of Chris- topher Monk, a youth who was permanently crippled at the massacre by a stray shot. His whole oration is figurative ; but the burden of his argument is that an organized militia is preferable to a standing army.
In the r)th oration, Warren a second time omits to mention the names of the victims,* as I believe do all the succeeding orators. Though reference is made more or less remotely to the tragedy, in some of the subsequent orations, the subject was treatea perfunctorily, and it is evi- dent that tne orators dwelt with keener relish on the stirring events that were daily occurring and on the heroes Warren and Washin!:;ton.
