What reading level is The Remaking of a Mind; a Soldier's Thoughts On War And Reconstruction book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is no hazard that the heroic period of English literary humour synchronizes with the heroic period of early Eng- lish industrialism and imperialism, the time of Queen EHzabeth and Shakespeare. Nor is it mere coincidence that the west of America, with the intensity and speed of its pioneer life, full of changing and unexpected conditions and impres- sions, has produced what to my European mind seems to be the most concentrated and typical form of American humour.
Moreover, until a very few ye...ars ago — too short a time to create any new characteristics of mind — there was practically no sporting life in GERMAN PATRIOTISM 115 Germany. Thus it lacked an element that seems to become more and more a source of popular humour, as is born out by the growing predomi- nance of sporting expressions and images in current Anglo-Saxon humorous literature. Yet it would be false to conclude that there is no such thing as genuine humour in the Teutonic soul.
On the contrary, the same contemplative life in the narrow circles of peasantry and petty crafts- manship — that resulted in slow, deep thinking, turned the imagination towards the sentimental life, and animated their environment with mythic creations — has developed a strong sense for any- thing humorous that happens within these cir- cles.
