What reading level is Japan And America : a Contrast book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It may be subject to drouths, it may be in debt up to the eyebrows, perhaps sand storms make the springtime hideous, but all of these things are concealed by the local patriots, who point with pride to everything in the vicinity and 128 JAPAN AND AMERICA— A CONTRAST view nothing with alarm. Among themselves they may discuss the disadvantages of climate and soil and the shortcomings of the city administration, but none of this reaches the ears of the visitor. A psychologist might attribute this ...to the self-con- sciousness and sensitiveness of a new and loosely organized community. A cynic might find that most of the boosters have real estate to sell.
Whatever the cause, the result is often deceptive to the visitor unless he knows the viewpoint of the residents of young and hopeful cities.
Similar motives have developed in Japan a code in which every Japanese heartily concurs, binding himself to present to strangers only the best side of Japanese affairs. Whether it be a ricksha coolie or a government official one talks to, it is always exceedingly difficult to get him to give any information which he feels would lower Japan in the estimation of the foreigner.
