What reading level is The Slave; Or, Memoirs of Archy Moore 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He had neither lands nor servants ; for his father before him, had been a poor white man. He had been educated to no trade ; for where every planter has his own mechanics on his own plantation, a white tradesman can expect no en- couragement. The only resource of a man in Jemmy 64 MEMOIRS OF Gordon's situation, is to find employment as an over- seer for some of his richer neighbors. But in Vir- ginia, there are more persons who desire to be over- seers than there are plantations to. oversee. Be...sides, Mr Gordon was one of those careless, easy, good na- tured, 4 indolent sort of men, who are generally pro- nounced good-for-nothing. He never could bring him- self to that ever watchful scrutiny, and assiduous over- sight, which is necessary among slaves, whose maxim it is to work as little as possible, and to steal all they can. He was apt enough to get into a passion, and cut and slash, right and left, without discrimination ; but he was incapable of that regular severity, and sys- tematic cruelty, by which other overseers gained the reputation of excellent disciplinarians.
