Something about the old man made them feel uncomfortable, especially the way he looked at Maybeth, Dicey's beautiful, younger sister. The children made a dash for it with the mad man closely following. Luckily, a kind man by the name of Will stepped in just in time to rescue them. This scene caused me to become more aware of those around me and the situations in which I place myself. Homecoming also made me thankful for my family and friends.
Homecoming is an excellent story.
Cynthia Voigt Analysis Homecoming takes place in Provincetown and Bridgeport, Connecticut on Route One that runs south between the two cities. At the end of the story, the setting is in Crisfield, Maryland, along the Chesapeake Bay. The story takes place in 1981, the same year as it was written. The setting does not play a role in the story because the same events could have happened anywhere. Although the major mood of the story is tragic, depressing, and melancholy, in the end it was also hopeful and inspirational.
