What reading level is The Race Track Swindle a Satire book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They do no feeding at a grand hotel A beanery sandwich fits their stomachs well, They're long familiar with the doughnuts, too, Have learned to masticate the hash-house stew, And when they have the money in their jeans, Ne'er turn their faces from good wholesome beans.
No glittering gems their nervous fingers show, Some hockshop uncle got them long ago, And though their pants need patching at the stern, It seems, alas, they'll ne'er a lesson learn ; For when they get some money, off they "hike"... And buy a ticket to the track and "pike. " Think of the many human wrecks you've seen, Who long around the betting-ring have been, Yet curse the fatal day with deepest hate That led their footsteps to the race track gate. With seedy clothing, and with pockets bare, They scan the figures with a yearning stare And beg some other piker to "chip in" To bet the steed their judgment picks to win.
20 THE RACE TRACK SWINDLE.
Think well of these, for they were once like you, Had pride, ambition, and a bank-roll, too; Perhaps were warned, as you are warned today, Of evils coming to the dupes that play; Yet heedless frolicked with the siren game Till they at last its bankrupt slaves became.
