What reading level is Change in the Village book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A _blanket_, and a _quarterof a ton o' coal_! Pity as somebody hadn't shoved a brick down histhroat, when he _had_ got 'n open, so's to _keep_ 'n open!" Thesentiment sounds envious, but in fact it was scornful. It was directed, not against the great man's riches, but against the well-known meannesshe displayed anew in his contemptible gifts.
A faint trace of traditional class animosity sounds in one or twocustomary phrases of the village, for instance in the saying that thereis one law for the ...rich and another for the poor. Yet this has becomesuch a by-word as to be usually stated with a smile; for is it not anold acquaintance amongst opinions? The older people even have a humorousdevelopment of it. According to their improved version, there are nottwo only, but three kinds of law: one kind for the rich, one for thepoor, and one "the law that nobody can't make. " What is this last? Why, the law "to make a feller pay what en't got nothink. " By such witticismsthe edge of bitterness is turned; the sting is taken out of that senseof inequality which, as the labourer probably knows, would poison hispresent comfort and lead him into dangerous courses if he let it rankle.
