What reading level is The Jungle book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There was no justice, there was no right, anywhere in it — it was only force, it was tyranny, the will and the power, reckless and unrestrained ! They had ground him beneath their heel, they had devoured all his substance ; they had murdered his old father, they had broken and wrecked his wife, they had crushed and cowed his whole family ; and now they were through with him, they had no further use for him — and because he had interfered with them, had gotten in their way, this was what they ha...d done to him ! They had put him behind bars, as if he had been a wild beast, a thing without sense or reason, without rights, without affections, without feelings. Nay, they would not even have treated a beast as they had treated him I Would any man in his senses have trapped a wild thing in its lair, and left its young behind to die ?
192 THE JUNGLE These midnight hours were fateful ones to Jurgis ; in them was the beginning of his rebellion, of his outlawry and his unbelief. He had no wit to trace back the social crime to its far sources — he could not say that it was the thing men have called "the system" that was crushing him to the earth ; that it was the packers, his masters, who had bought up the law of the land, and had dealt out their brutal will to him from the seat of justice.
