Line 33:
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Garraty's dad had negative views against the government and was very vocal about it, going so far as to take Garraty to see a Long Walk when he was younger so that Garraty could see how horrible it was. He was ultimately "Squaded," slang for being taken away by the Squads and possibly [[Released to Elsewhere]].
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: {{spoiler|Barkovich.}} He rips out his own throat.
* [[Face Death Withwith Dignity]]: {{spoiler|Scramm, knowing full well he can't finish the Walk with such an advanced case of pneumonia, and Mike, one of two Hopi brothers who gets struck with severe abdominal cramping. Instead of just falling over and taking it, Scramm says his goodbyes, talks with Mike who bids goodbye to his brother, and walks into the escorting half-track's path. They flip the half-track off, insult the soldiers approaching them and sit down to talk while they wait for death.}}
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: When Garraty experiences a fit of [[Laughing Mad|laughing madness]] and incurs three Warnings during said fit, McVries intervenes, holding Garraty up to keep him going so he doesn't get a ticket and attempting to verbally coax him out of it. Eventually, McVries slaps Garraty to get him to snap out of it before he gets his ticket, getting himself a Warning in the process of this act.
* [[Go Out with a Smile]]: {{spoiler|1=Pete McVries}} When he feels he can't go on for much longer, he sits down in the road and smiles at Garraty as he is shot by the soldiers.
