What reading level is Watching On the Rhine book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Yet even in this relatively favoured land the state of affairs is bad enough. In Bonn, for some reason, things seem to have been worse than in Cologne. I shall never forget the feeling of utter helplessness with which I saw a group of rickety-looking Bonn children staring hungrily into the windows of a chocolate shop. We took them in and gave them sweets; there were no cakes or buns to be had, and bread is rationed. Poor children, WHO PAYS? 109 they gathered round us in a state of frantic excit...ement when we produced slabs of chocolate. The fatuity of our own action was miserably apparent. For these children were only typical of hundreds of thousands of cases all over Europe, and even so their circumstances were far better than what obtains in m. Any other countries. Chil- dren, of course, cannot grow up and be healthy without milk, and milk is unobtainable in the towns. The munici- pality doles out a limited supply to invalids, nursing mothers, and babies, but children above a certain age never see fresh milk, and tinned milk is too expensive a luxury to figure in the daily dietary of the working-classes.
