What reading level is The Gorgeous East India Burma Ceylon And Siam book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And so, when famine attacks him, he sits quietly in his house or on his veranda, while he grows thinner and weaker every day.
85 India CHAPTER XXI FAMINE!
Drought fills India with gloom. But it is not the farmers who suffer first. If they are short of corn, they can get it from their storehouses. The men who suffer most are those who live on wages earned daily. But in the second year of drought the sight of an Indian village in the grip of famine is a terrible one. Every- where we see dead and ...dying cattle. Nothing remains for the starving cows to eat ; every leaf, however dry and burnt, has been plucked long ago. The owners of the cattle, starving themselves, can now do nothing. They have only one consolation, and that is that things can hardly be as bad as in the old times, when Hyder Ali and other conquerors destroyed crops wilfully.
As we draw nearer to the village, moreover, we see signs that human beings are also being struck down. A long, thin form approaches, and with difficulty we recog- nize the figure of a man whom perhaps we once knew, whose strength and straightness had often won our admiration.
