- After the news that somebody escaped the police by fighting back and managed to escape, this individualis dubbed Akron AWOL who is Connor. The name Akron AWOL is treated like a deity among unwinds and it becomes a symbol of resistance against the society that no long accepts them.

Instead it takes a boy who was only a rumor and turns him into a legend (Shusterman, p. 267)
