Journal Entry #5

           Superfudge is one of the books I have chose written by Judy Blume. This is a book sequel to her other book, Fudge ,which is based on a little boy named Farley Drexel Hatcher, otherwise known as Fudge and his older brother, Peter. In this sequel, Fudge plans to be a bird when he grows up. But Peter is concerned Fudge will grow up to be a pain! Dealing with his brother has been hard, and now his parents wants to move to New Jersey for a year. That's not all, Peter's mom is also pregnant with a new baby. Now Peter is worried that the new baby will be a copy of Fudge!

          Judy wrote the book intended for young readers as her audience. This led to the playful tone of her writing. And also her sentence structures include both active and passive sentences. She had complete thoughts with a subject and verb. Intended for young kids, the story was at fast pace which might have been to not bore the readers. In addition, Superfudge is a book for kids to allow them to enjoy what they read.
