What reading level is My Joy Ride Round the World book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Number One wife is the one selected for him by his parents, and is of the lady class. The concubines he picks out for himself, and they may be of low caste, but the children of the concubine are all accredited to the lady wife and call her " Mother, " while they call their own mother " Aunt. " A woman who has no children often forces her husband to take a con- cubine so that she may have sons to honour her, and worship at her tomb when she is dead.
There is much discussion in China about th...e effects of the concubine system upon national life. Some hold that concubinage is largely responsible for the lethargy of the men in high positions, that it paralyses energy, and drugs ambition to sleep. Others defend it. Speak- ing of it, one of the greatest Chinese statesmen said to me : " Concubinage simply means that a man accepts responsibility for his acts. The concubine has a re- spectable place in society, as the mistress has not. She 122 MY JOY-RIDE ROUND THE WORLD shares with the first wife in her husband's estate and may not be thrown out when a man tires of her, as a mistress so often is.
