What reading level is Why And What Am I the Confessions of An Inquirer in Three Parts book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But it is no want, and seldom touched except in compliment to society. To gratify others, I once was weak enough to sign a, pledge. In a few days I took my name off, resolved to be morally free to eat, drink, and believe whatever was pleasant or needful, myself being the judge. I never would join a church, club, or subscribe to any creed or doctrine, because, the instant I found myself under conventional bonds of any nature, my individuality revolted, and kept me restless and wretched until I h...ad thrown off the yoke.
All this negative principle made me a good lad in the eyes of very moral people. I should except my affair of the pledge, and obstinacy in church matters. These, it is true, were black spots to them. I had no vices. But, for all that, was I virtuous ? Virtue, it seems to me, is the fruit of self-conquest, the triumph over and not the mere abnegation of evil.
112 HEART-EXPERIENCE.
How fallacious is the world s judgment in general 1 If to do none of these things was virtue, then the credit was due to instincts bestowed by nature, or my Pilgrim blood, which in such things gave me a tolerably pure and decent standpoint for the forma tion of character.
