You could be the most vile person on earth but if you are a Canadian citizen you have certain rights.” Knowing this, it is easy for Canadians to demonize Khadr all these years because he is a Canadian citizen. A country should protect their citizens, as soon as they are in danger. It is wrong that it took Canada many years to actually take action for Khadrs rights and protection.
The event is run by a character known as "The Major", who is suggested to have considerable power, stemming from a possible military or fascist state system. The Major appears at the beginning of the Walk to encourage the boys and start them on their way, and then occasionally thereafter. While the Walkers initially greet him with awe and respect, they eventually realize their admiration is misplaced and ridicule him in later appearances. The Walk begins at the Maine/Canada border and travels the east coast of the United States until the winner is determined. There are no stops, rest periods, or established finish line, and the Walk does not pause for any reason (including bad weather or darkness); it ends only when one Walker is left alive.
Ralph upholds the responsibility as chief because he knows he has to somehow guide the boys until they were rescued. Although he is afraid of what lay ahead, he becomes brave and takes position with confidence.

The first insight into Mr. Luria’s character may be found through his past. As an immigrant from Russia, he most likely came to Canada to seek a better life and to be able to practice his religion with more freedom. Still, even his family can notice that “he searched without knowing it for landscapes that were like his old time” and Mrs. MacNeil remarks knowingly, even without meeting Mr Luria, that “we’re always scheming to get back.” Preserving his culture has always been a key goal in Mr. Luria’s life, and his dreams have been filled with building “an ideal [Jewish] farm community” with his family at the center of this settlement. He is not a greedy or selfish man, instead choosing to focus on bettering the life of his family and those around them, and insuring that they are content and pleased. However, his views sometimes come into conflict with those of his children, who were born in Canada and do not quite understand his convictions with preserving their culture.
