"Mr. Midshipman Easy" by Frederick Marryat is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story introduces us to Nicodemus Easy, a gentleman from Hampshire who, after years of trying to have children, finally becomes a father. The novel combines humor with social commentary, exploring themes of philosophy, the rights of man, and the absurdities of domestic life. At the start of the book, Mr. Easy and his wife are depicted as a contented couple, each indulging their own hobbies while maintaining a harmonious relationship. Mr. Easy's philosophical musings on equality and the “rights of man” are humorously contrasted with his wife's practical concerns and their eventual joy when she bears a son named John. This opening portion sets the stage for the exploration of Jack Easy’s upbringing under the shadow of his father's whimsical yet flawed philosophy, foreshadowing the conflicts and comedic situations that are likely to arise as Jack grows up and begins to navigate the world around him.

Reading ease score: 73.7 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
