Refusing to open up, Dr. Davenport cunningly manages to get Antwone to talk. Antwone eventually breaks down and reveals a horrible childhood of abandonment and abuse. With Dr. Davenport's help, he is able to face his past and strive for success in finding the family he never met. At the same time, he is able to turn his life around and change it radically. Ultimately, he is reunited with both his father's side of the family and his mother who abandoned him.*Climax:*After Antwone graduates from his Japanese classes, Dr. Davenport explains that he can no longer see him for psychiatric help, and who cannot always count on his presence. Antwone therefore experiences a feeling of abandonment not only from his family, but also from Dr. Davenport who has been there for him in many difficult moments. He then decides to change his life and move forward with stubbornness.*Conflict:*Antwone Fisher was a man who had difficulty being a man because he could not resist force. He is unable to resist because of the weight that was placed on him growing up in an environment where everyone told him he was worthless. Ultimately, Antwone is able to grow and flourish, because like any tree that stands tall and strong, he discovers that he has roots, which run very deep..
