A Reflection on Unstructured Learning

I believe that multiple, yet still interconnected themes can be found within the text. One being the act of preparing your self for your goal ahead. Alan Moore focuses on the long process it took Nite Owl to even become the masked hero he is presently. He had to prepare both mentally and physically (not to mention make a cool costume which required a cool name)for his long term goal ahead. This is something that should be universal, most people do in fact have goals set out ahead of them. You could connect this with each of our long term goals of passing the AP test coming in a couple short weeks. We might not all need a costume or have to wade through a bog of self-doubt to get there but certainly some amount of mental preparation (perhaps even physical preparation)is needed to meet our goal. The tale of how Nite Owl got his name can be taken to represent how learning can be taken from anywhere and even the most unexpected places. This is something that will reoccur throughout life, not only in the realm of academics or in the case of Alan Moore the world of the Watchmen
