What reading level is The Making of a Man book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" But I held on to him, so that he could not do it. He ought to have torn himself away, if he had broken my wrists ! He did not exert his strength to get away from me. He was all I had, and how I held on ! One minute after, and he and I would have given worlds to recall the chance ; but our first and our strongest feeling was ourselves. In the selfish- ness of that one minute the old man was drowned. " She put a hand over her face ; she could see so distinctly in the washed-out basin below her ...the terror-stricken coun- tenance of the aged farmer, as whirled round and round in the rush of the current, he sank and rose, sank and rose, and finally sank for good.
" When a strong man can and don't, it is right he should fail, " she reflected bitterly. " Was it because I had hold of him ? Ought I not to have forced him to plunge in ? But I did urge him to go to the war ! If he is killed there, I shall still be glad I did glad !" and she stood look- ing at the water rippling slowly by.
She was thinking of the country's death-struggle for existence ; of her husband fronting death for its sake ; of men pulling upon his right hand and his left as he pressed steadily on.
