What reading level is In the Heart of the Arctics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It consists of a swaying motion of the body to the tune of a drum made of seal skin, beaten with the fingers, and accompanied by a most monotonous chant, consisting of a constant repeti- tion, of ''Amna ayah, '' their song. The Eskimos, men and women, have fine voices, but their low degree of mentality has not taught them how to use them properly. In the Danish settlements, they have adopted a few of the simplest and most common European dances. The children amuse themselves with crude play- th...ings, figures cut out of ivory, bearing a faint re- semblance to some of the animals which inhabit that region. I was very much astonished to find a small boy practising marksmanship with a small cross gun. The body of the gun was made of wood, the bow of bone, and the string of walrus hide. It IN THE HEART OF THE ARCTICS 203 was a mystery to me where the idea came from, for the construction of this weapon. Men and women are Hke children and enjoy their simplest plays and laugh heartily on the occurrence of most trivial incidents.
