The Face of Reality is well covered.
The facing to the camera is known to the boy in corduroy. That means it was not accidental. The boy is well dressed even in corduroy. It is a prepared scene. There is no smile, but he smiles from the heart. He has the will to face anything. He is good enough to his goals. If he is sent to a better place having the possibilities for amassing opportunities, he will become so good. But if he is sent to another place of criminals, he will be notorious all aver the area. He is a symbol of the time to which he is attached to. This is the exact period, when a new man is being evolved. It is vulnerable too. The world can be build free from terrorism while the young have the opportunity to compete with others irrespective of the caste, creed or color and attain their goals from the job. The attires show him free from poverty. Nevertheless, in the USA, everybody is not updated to the higher standards of a white man even when the President is Black. I conclude that I see something between the front and back of the corduroy of the young boy.
