What reading level is Choy Susan Microform And Other Stories book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" " But of course there ought not to have been, unless it were certain that she was to blame. That would have been highly unjust. " " Yes, by our laws, and now ; but there used to be a different conception of justice. Do you recollect about the old custom of deodand, in Blackstone? This rather makes me think of it. " "Deodand?" she repeated, puzzled; "no, in deed ; what was it ? " " It used to be the custom to confiscate any thing that had been the occasion of death, whether it were to blame or... not. It was called a deodand, supposed to be forfeited to God, and the king devoted it to charitable uses. The destruction of human life was considered such an absolute and inexcusable wrong that ven geance had to be wreaked even upon the inani mate matter that was the agent of it. If the thing were in motion the whole of it was taken ; if not in motion only the part that was imme diately to blame. Thus, if a man should fall from the wheel of a wagon at rest and be killed, the wheel alone was a deodand, and not the wagon.
