A Reflection of Unstructured Learning

The themes of the text are preparation and fate. The man had spent everyday focusing and preparing for his journey. "I wanted to spend as much of my evenings working out in the Police Gymnasiums as possible, after which I'd usually go to bed around nine o'clock and sleep through until five the next morning." Fate was also a theme is this excerpt because although he had spent hours trying to come up with a name, a name was presented to him when he wasn't searching for it.  "Eventually, a suitable handle was provided inadvertently by one of the other cops."
