What reading level is We Joined the Navy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was summer and every day was warm, long and full of promise. It was a novel, green world and they danced like sprites in it, before the Navy and the Fleet claimed their youth. Dartmouth was like the early hours of a cricket match. The sun was still climbing, the grass still damp and hopes high. It was not yet the heat of the afternoon when the sun reached its height and runs and wickets preoccupied the minds of the players.Dartmouth let them dance, let them win small victories, knowing that i...t had already won the most important victory. The Admiral had been right. The Navy did not want normal boys but boys who would carry out their duty without questioning the ultimate end, like special tools which, once moulded, would carry the shape of their calling for ever. The Navy required its officers to have a way of thinking and a way of life of its own and though hampered by lack of money and badgered by politicians and the press it set about getting them at Dartmouth, hiding its true purpose under a camouflage of tiny false purposes like the branches over a hunter’s pit.Each day at Dartmouth was new and different and contained some fresh experience, but the sum of the days, looked back upon afterwards, appeared as a homogeneous whole, each day inseparable from the others.
