SOAPSTone: "Semeadores" by Diego Rivera

Subject: Mexican laborersOccasion: Communism in Mexico
Audience: Higher-class Mexicans
Purpose: Shows higher class Mexicans the hardships that the farm laborers had to do
Speaker: Diego Rivera wanted to support the communist movement in Mexico
Tone: Calm, but frustrating at the same time
Diego Rivera wanted the audience to think about the fact that in communism, everyone is equal and has to share the duties equally. The laborers in the picture are not identified in any way and their faces are covered up. This shows that it could be anybody and everybody.
