Alex para shoots in to London where the ceremony is being held but gets caught up in the rafters but that doesn't stop him from trying to kill Salye and finish the mission.
How these two theme relate to each other
These two themes are related because Alex never lets his age be a factor in what he can and can't do. He never gives up and he always tries his best and he never stops trying when people tell him that he was too young of not big enough to do anything.
