Teaching, Learning, and Archetypes. . . Cynthia Voigt's Dicey's Song is widely taught by real-life teachers andwidely read by young adults, some of whom may actually go on to become teachersand all of whom are continually forming and revising their notions of"teacher." Dicey's Song also portrays three very different andwell-defined kinds of schoolteachers. Unlike Sammy, Dicey's youngestbrother, whose mask of good behavior is uncomfortably confining and whosegrowth through the story is dramatic, Miss Eversleigh is comfortably masked,maintaining as a part of her working condition a denial of her true identity. And it is an informed action,it seems, by his sensed need for more-sensitive interactions with his students.That we never actually see him again in the novel after his confrontation withDicey suggests that, even as he "pussyfoots," he is out journeying, trying,slowly and painfully growing. scholar.lib.vt.edu /ejournals/ALAN/spring94/Albritton.html

SparkNotes: Dicey's Song: Context Like Dicey, Voigt is tempted and soothed by the faceless, ever-changing and eternal call of the ocean, while remaining anchored by and rooted in the love of her family and her life upon land. Dicey's Song picks up themes initiated in Homecoming, and Dicey, who struggled so fiercely to hold on to her family during their journey to Crisfield, learns more deeply in Dicey's Song what it means to reach out to her family members and friends, and also learns the importance of letting go of her painful past. According to Reid, the inspiration for Homecoming, the first book in the Tillerman cycle, came to Voigt one afternoon when upon seeing a station wagon full of children waiting for their mother, she found herself wondering what would happen to the children if their mother did not return. www.sparknotes.com /lit/diceyssong/context.html
