Q.1 : In this picture we can see a young boy, who's probably 8 years old. He's wearing a red cap and red shorts, blue t-shirt, mask, socks and shoes. He's dressed up as Superman. He's sitting on what seems to be a roof and is surrounded by sky-scrapers. He's overlooking the N-Y city in the background. His posture reminds us of someone who is thinking/meditation, moreover it looks like Rodin's statue, the Thinker.

He may be waiting to save somebody.
