What reading level is The Life of the Weevil book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Today we have to go shares: the Bruchus takes what she wants and lets us have her leavings.
The insect's prosperity, born of the abun- dance and quality of our products, from another point of view spells decadence. For the Weevil as for ourselves, progress in the matter of food and drink does not always 254 The Pea- Weevil: The Larva mean improvement. The race fares better by remaining frugal. On her horse-bean, on her everlasting pea, the Bruchus founded colonies in which the infant mortality ...was low. There was room for all. On the pea, a delectable sweetmeat, the greater part of the guests die of starvation. The rations are few and the claimants legion.
We will linger over this problem no longer. Let us enquire into the grub which has become the sole owner of the pea through the death of its brothers. It has had no part in that decease; chance has favoured it, that is all. In the centre of the pea, a luxurious solitude, it performs a grub's duty, the one and only duty of eating. It gnaws the walls around and enlarges its cell, which it always fills completely with its fair round belly.
