What reading level is The Emigrant a Contrast book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They little think who pass us by, And meet us in our wanderings, why We deign not our sad eyes to raise, But silent slmnk beneath their gaze. Men marvel at our stern reserve, Which doth such loneliness preserve : The world to sorrow, which we hide, Awards the penalty of Pride ! Stranger ! I am nor proud, nor dull, But, stranger, I am sorrowful. O let not coward Pity dare Look down on us ; if she, aware Of her own barrenness, but feeds A selfish pride on poisoned weeds ; But Mercy, making others...' cause Her own, may she, reflective, pause, And weigh, with calm regard and kind, Each subtle wound that racks the mind, PART I. 17 Marking, with eye discriminate, Oppression, and its victim's fate ; A fate that shall her cheek suffuse, And o'er her sight a mist diffuse, Bathing her meek lids, till it stray A tender trickling tear away. May she regard, and may her love In turn be registered above. "&* Oh ! freedom, 'tis a giant want That eats all others, * while we pant T' indulge each quiet simple taste, The garden of the soul lies waste : The seed of gentle flowers is cast In vain 'neath the Sirocco's blast, No peaceful task shall cheat the power Of care to speed the creeping hour.
