What reading level is Tiger And Tom And Other Stories for Boys book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A boy who smokes muchnever can have the glory of bodily strength.
Dick found this out for himself, to his bitter regret. And besides this, do you think that his conduct showed strength of mind? He began thepractice of smoking, not because he believed it to be right, but because_men_ smoked. He was only a boy, yet he wished to appear _a man_--thatis, to appear what he was _not_.
What could be more weak than for a boy to have no reason for doing athing than that _men do it?_ But it led to somethi...ng worse. He wassmoking on the sly, and to conceal it he became a liar. He lied in theschool by his conduct, he lied at home by his words.
We could have respected him, although we pitied him, had he smokedopenly and taken the consequences; but who can respect a coward? He isnot worthy of the name of _man_. Dick continued to smoke after he leftschool, and was apprenticed in a large warehouse.
[Illustration: "_Became the associate of fast young men and learned todrink_. "] Here again the old desire to be like men influenced him.
