The difference between a High and Low level language is the amount of abstraction in the grammar of the language.
Assembly is a Low level language because there is no abstraction between the processor and the code written. Every line of assembly has a 1 to 1 literal correspondence with an instruction on the processor. You never see abstract concepts like for loops, or arrays in assembly because those concepts don't exist at the processor level.
