Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing.Pdf
My biggest problem is my brother, Farley Drexel Hatcher. Everybody calls him Fudge. I feel sorry for him if he’s going to grow up with a name like Fudge, but I don’t say a word. It’s none of my business. Fudge is always in my way. He messes up everything he sees. And when he gets mad he throws himself flat on the floor and he screams. And he kicks. And he bangs his fists. The only time I really like him is when he’s sleeping. He sucks four fingers on his left hand and makes a slurping noise. When Fudge saw Dribble he said, “Ohhhhh . see!” And I said, “That’s my turtle, get it? Mine! You don’t touch him.” Fudge said, “No touch.” Then he laughed like crazy.

Self Regulation in Judy Blume's Young Adult Novel Tiger Eyes
GAP BODHI TARU A GLOBAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES ( ISSN – 2581-5857 ) Impact Factor: SJIF - 5.171, IIFS - 5.125 TEEN-SELF AND SOCIETY: A STUDY OF EMOTIONAL- SELF REGULATION IN JUDY BLUME’S YOUNG ADULT NOVEL TIGER EYES Dr. Lotwala Kunjal K. Assistant Professor Agarwal Vidya Vihar English Medium College, Surat-3954518 Contact number: 8511099806 Email Id: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Emotional development is fundamentally the way emotions change and remain relentless across the human lifespan. Social development is the way in which human learns to interact with each other. Emotional-self regulation refers to a child’s capability to change his or her emotional state to either match that of the others in society or to make a child more comfortable in particular situation i.e. social or personal. It is a skill that a child develops over a period of time and involves both responding to situations with emotions that are socially acceptable and developing the ability to suppress emotions or delay spontaneous reactions when necessary. The present paper deals with three major aspects of socioemotional interaction in young adults. Firstly, it will analyze adolescents’ relationships with their parents. Here, the social relationship is to be discussed with the framework of the establishment of autonomy from the parents. Secondly, it also examines the influence of the adolescent’s peer group on attitudes, values, and behaviour. Peer groups play a major role in the development of friendship. Thirdly, the interaction with the members of the opposite sex-the phenomenon of dating in American culture discusses the psychological implications of norms associated with dating in adolescence presented in the novel.

Living in the same house with his super-annoying baby brother (who gets called Fudge because his real name is Farley Dexter) makes Peter crazy. Fudge screams, kicks, bangs, pesters, and messes stuff up all the time. Whether he’s throwing a temper tantrum in a shoe store or scribbling on Peter’s social studies homework, Fudge is never far from getting himself—and Peter—in big, big trouble. Yet somehow, this pint- seized terror manages to get away with murder while remaining the apple of every grown-up’s eye. Pity Poor Peter Hatcher. All he wants is to be a good student, play with his pet turtle, Dribble, and lead a calm, peaceful life with his friends and family without the World’s Worst Little Brother always ruining everything.

What Is It About Judy Blume? (Under the Direction of Mary Helen Thuente.)
ABSTRACT TINGEN, JENNIFER KAY. From Laughter to Tears: What is it About Judy Blume? (Under the direction of Mary Helen Thuente.) What is it that everyone loves about Judy Blume? I propose that Judy Blume is so popular and loved by young adults because of the candor, humor, and comfort that her novels never fail to provide. She has a way of letting young adults know that everything is going to be just fine. Her impact has affected millions over the years. Specific moments from Forever, Blubber, and Tiger Eyes illustrate Blume’s candor and humorous way of viewing serious, realistic matters, from death and sexuality to being painfully humiliated due to one’s personal appearance. These literary moments contain a great deal of pathos; they make readers laugh out loud or shed tears through Blume’s distinctively candid creativity. In Letters to Judy: What Kids Wish they could Tell You, Blume has helped parents see life through their children’s eyes. She provides letters from children who have written to her over the years for all readers to see that childhood is not as easy as adults often think it is. These letters provide a glimpse of Blume’s empathy with young adulthood that makes her so appealing to readers of all ages. Examining these novels will allow me to select moments from Blume’s writing that illustrate young adult experiences in a humorous, sad, or realistic light. It is during these moments that the reader is closest to and absorbed in the characters in Forever, Blubber, and Tiger Eyes.
