What reading level is When I Was a Boy in Japan book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
How joyful I felt at this, you can hardly imagine. I swam round and round the place of course stopping every quarter of a minute till I was fairly ex- hausted. On my return home, however, I mustered courage enough to impart to my brother on the matted floor my successful experience.
Diving came next. On my first dip I felt instinctively that man and fish were at the opposite extremities of creation. The suppression of breath and the closing of eyes were bad enough ; but there was such a roaring... in my ears as if all the spirits of the water were murmuring at the intmsion, while my body was at once subjected to a different law of repulsion. But it would be great fun, I thought, to play at being a sea- 108 SUMMER DAYS monkey and seize the legs of other boys, of which sport I had been a victim myself on the very first day. So I began practising, and in a few days was already looking for a chance to apply my half -mastered skill. Seeing two boys near me engaging in splashing water, I dived at once, aiming at one of them.
