DQ’s for Antwone Fisher
- Antwone gets into a lot of fights. Do you think he fights because people have made him angry, or is he angry already?
- I think he fights because he is already angry, and in some situations people already know he gets mad easily so they push him to his weakest point.
- When Antwone first goes to see the therapist, he is very vague with information about his background. Why would he not just come out with all hos history? Is he hiding something? How is Antwone different or the same as Melinda Sordino in Speck?
- He doesn’t like his history, he says he has no family, yes he is hiding a lot of things, it is very different from speck, because Melinda doesn’t let her anger out but Antwone yells and fights.
- Why does Antwone say the he should just go to the brig? How would that be easier for him than the alternative the he is given?
- He thinks he can just hide his feelings and not talk about them.
- When his shipmates are talking about going home for the holiday, Antwone ignores the question. Why?
- He was writing and listening to music, he couldn’t hear them.
- During the Thanksgiving dinner at the doctor’s house, Antwone is out into an awkward situation when the doctor’s father asks him question. Why was it awkward for him?
- He never had his mother food before, and doesn’t know his real mom.
- The doctor at one point says that forgiveness is freeing yourself. Do you agree? Talk about Antwone and Melinda in terms of forgiving themselves. What would they be forgiving themselves for? Why?
- Discuss two possible themes in Antwone Fisher? Are there similar themes in Speck? Explain.
