Description du héros sur la photo :

The document is a photo. In the foreground, a boy is sitting on the roof (toit) of the building.

He must BE around 10 (years old). He is surrounded by skyscrapers. (gratte ciel)

NYC is composed of 5 boroughs:

Manhattan / Brooklyn / The Queens / The Bronx / Staten Island.

1492, C. Columbus discovered American.

He must be thinking because he’s holding his chin.

He could be mediation over his role as a superhero, Superman, batman, Wonder Woman, Cat woman, X-Men, Thor, Iron Man, Captain America…

A superhero is:

-Someone who thinks about the orders / wants a peaceful world, saves people example for the others and has superpowers for example.

Strength / Strong / Laser eyes / teleportation /Invisibility / invisible / climb / cleverness

Real life vs fiction:

The doc is a poster extracted (which in an extract from) from “The World’s finest…”.It was made by Alex Ross and it was published by DC (District of Columbia) Comics on 2012. It’s about 9/11 attacks.

- Historical context on September 11, in 2001, 2 planes crashed in the Twin Twines.

The document is made of rectangle at the top in which the numbers 9/11 are written.

Below (≠above; en dessous), we can see a mural representing modern-day heroes like nurses, firefighter, policeman, pilots, common people.

They look proud and sure of themselves (eux-même).They’re bigger than superman.

What strikes my attention is the ironic figure of Superman in front of the mural. He’s wearing his red cape with the yellow S in the black. His (super?) dog stands by him. He’s standing behind a fence (clôture) which could symbolize the different between real heroes and fictions heroes. He feels (sentir) admiration. He’s like child admiring his heroes. He may feel powerless. The proud poses imply that they know they’re doing good.
