What reading level is Taken From Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But these anecdotes and incidental descrip- tions give little effect of the old lady's personality; nor am I hopeful of being able to convey the effect of her. She is so essen- tially an individual and not a representative of her class. She appears, for example, to be almost devoid of that imaginative senti- mentality that makes life bearable for the poor. She has never been afraid to face the facts of her existence, nor upon occasion to defy them by her shrewdness and MRS. BENNETT 157 capabili...ty. Yet, as we have seen, she accepted life unquestioningly at the poverty level. She never criticised the rights of her landlord, though she might criticise the character of the individual who exercised them. (She has known three administrations, as she came to the parish under the rule of the present squire's grandfather. ) And it may be that even if she had been born fifty years later, she would not have had any ambition other than to make the best of what she had a principle that seems to represent her.
