Conflict and Resolution
The conflict in Bud, Not buddy was that Bud was an orphan when his mother died and never felt like he was where he belonged. He thought he knew who his father was, he thought it was Herman E. Calloway so he went on the lam (on the run) looking for his Dad. The resolution was Bud used all the things he remembered his mother telling throughout his journey. He finds a way to the Grand Rapids to meet Herman E. Calloway and when Bud is being accused of stealing, he shouts out his mother's name, revealing he is actually Mr. Calloway's grandson. Bud finally finds a place where he belongs.
